MUC OFF is quite good.

I use cheap stuff from wilkinsons which only costs £2 or £3 - I don't clean them often so I dont think it will do any deep damage.

just car shampoo n hot water m8. especially if your wheels have been powder coated.

car shampoo wont break down the brake dust tbh

if your worried about powder coated surface then use bilberry, its non acidic bu very effective

i currently use megs wheel brightner watered down a lot, does the job very well

I used to use megs hotwheels cleaner... but since seeing it strip the paint of adsayers vts wheels i stopped using it...

I have recently bought some of the autoglym wheel cleaner... it certainly shows good results...

Autoglyms good what i use to get a thoroughly clean wheel tho i tend t take it off and give it a proper clean front and back much easier to get in 'hard to get ' places :y:
