NO NO...the BEST wheel cleaner has to be MUC-OFF

It's actually designed to clean chain grease and tough sh*t like that on bikes!

Its buy one get one free from Halfords at the mo!!

Jus spray this stuff on and leave it for a minute, come back and wipe with a cloth and all the brake dust and other crap cums off!!!

Its the Mr Muscle of wheel cleaners!!!

because it can, read any car handbook or haynes guide and it will say dont use washing up liquid to clean your paintwork

many alcoholic drinks will take the paint off your car,

just cos you can eat/drink it dosnt mean its kind to your paintwork!!!

what do you all use to clean your alloys? I did use Wonder Wheels but have been hearing that it can damage alloys long term due to it being acidic.
