Bilberry or Autosmart smart wheels, both are non acidic and very good for stubborn brake dust etc.

Scouring pad, some Fairy liquid and rinse off with some vinegar. Just to be different.

I'm currently using CG Premium Blue as it's the only one i know of that's fine with Polished Wheels (my Wolfrace's dishes aren't lacquered)... Once my VTR wheels are back on for the winter i'll give Bilberry a try.

Autosmart then for ultimate gleam, sounds daft but a dab of toothpaste. Works a treat, plus wheels smell gorgeous
