Depends how you value the finish of your alloys.
If you don't care about harsher cleaners then Autoglym:

If you care for and value your wheels then Meguairs:

Mega! Grazie!
Thinking harsher stuff to get them initial clean, more moderate stuff to keep them clean..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

She won't clean them but after she has kerbed them you will embrace the dirt.3 -

Bilthamber Korrosol works wonders, as do most 'fallout' removers. Pretty cool when the bleeding starts, as the chemicals dissolve iron particles and brake dust residue. They are far milder than a lot of the dedicated wheel cleaners too, which can be very acidic and basically eat your wheels!Scott Foil RC

My wheels are 80% scrape, 10% brake dust, 10% alloy. Less said about 2 destroyed tyres due to kerbing at moderate speed the better.

Can you not just take a wire brush dipped in paraffin to them?1 -

My lad swears by Auto Finesse products. Stinks when it goes on but it does clean them up nicely.1 -

If she ain’t changed by now then she ain’t gonna. This can be a good thing.
I’m reminded of a saying about the folly of marriage. A man goes in thinking she won’t change while the woman goes in thinking he will. They are both wrong.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Grazie mille!ddraver said:There's an a car detailing account on the tiktok that seems to use a cleaner that seems to melt any dirt off any part of the car.
They never say what it is tho. Maybe get a younger male MF to ask them...
Theres one standing all surly outside at the mo' so I'll shout at him to do some research and wait for either a) no reply or b) something surly and "street" i won't be able to understand accompanied by random hand gestures..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Wonderwheels, the product that has a great reputation for removing dirt and brake dust and lacquer and paint from wheels. If your car’s wheels deserve that then maybe just buy some corrosive liquid in bulk form and chuck some of that on them.0

Wonderwheels is good but I've had better results using Dodo Juice Ferrous Dueller. The Dodo Juice range in general is very good.1

Well this has been quite an education! Who knew that all this highly specialised and eye-wateringly expensive automotive cleaning chemistry existed? There seems to be something for every conceivable type of blemish or contaminant.
I just live with the fact my 20 year old Focus has front wheels in a fetching shade of burnt umber. Somewhere between London Clay and Picture Gallery Red on the Farrow and Ball colour chart.
I did treat it to a new battery earlier this week though.0 -
The Anaconda is 15 years old, gets serviced once a year, a new battery every 5 years and the paintwork steam cleaned once a year, if that - therefore something quite harsh to get 3 years worth of schnunk off the wheels before leaving them for the next 3..

You could hide the dirt with some hubcaps and just put them in the dishwasher every month or two to clean them up?MattFalle said:The Anaconda is 15 years old, gets serviced once a year, a new battery every 5 years and the paintwork steam cleaned once a year, if that - therefore something quite harsh to get 3 years worth of schnunk off the wheels before leaving them for the next 3.

Hubcaps? Hubcaps?
What are these atrocities you speak of?

Don't know why, they just did, so I chsnged them.
Coincedence? A plot? The Illuminati? Hunter Biden?
Who knows.
Its the only thing to have ever gone wrong with it apart ftom the resr parking sensors don't work but thats because The Hound ate the wiring, nothing to do with the car..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.
