ive used wonder wheels many times without any problems. just need to get it on, agitate and get it off again as quickly as possible. as long as you dont leave it on too long or let it dry then you wont have any problems.

bilbery is by far better can dilute 1:1 all the way up to 1:10 and it still gets the dust off even carbon pad dust!

next time buy a better wheel cleaner, walk past that section of halfords and go straight to the auto glym section. More monies but better shizz.
Or get the meguiar's one, heard good thangs.

As it turns out i wasn't in halfords, i was picking up stuff to service the car... thought iwould try 
auto glym, bilberry. Worth a try and if all else fails a refurb it is.

pointless trying bilberry if wonder wheels isn't doing the job. the autoglym clean wheels is quite a strong cleaner.... but tbh wonder wheels is stronger in my experience.
what kind of brush are you using?
