Cleaning Wheels

After the success that I have had with the simple "Flash" cleaner recommended by some on this site to get a spot free finish I will pose the next problem

I clean the wheels with AutoGlym Alloy Cleaner and have also tried Halfrauds alloy cleaner but I still get this.

Can anyone suggest a quick and easy cleaner that works?

At first I tried to avoid an acid based cleaner but could never get my 20" alloys clean. I have gone back to using Wonder Wheels by Car Plan. As long as you thoroughly wash away the cleaner afterwards I recommend this as the best method. Use a small paint brush to get into the corners. Another type is to use Meguiars Tyre Gel and then you have a great finish. Really clean wheels set off with new looking tyres. New RRS

A few scantily clad laydees in bikini's with the ability to get down and have a good scrub surely is the answer.. Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

I agree but...........
It depends on how far down they'll go and how good the scrub is

If you have any clay bar it gets it off nicely, the real 'stuck on' bits are difficult to get off with chemicals etc.
Meguirs Hot Rims is a very good cleaner BTW.

I agree with Jay, Muc off is very good and doesn't contain acid which is the main constituent of Wonder Wheels. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
