Go to Halfords and buy some alloy wheel cleaner.

I have tried various alloy wheel cleaners, I found the one that works best for me is Mer Alloy & Steel Wheel Cleaner.

Or maybe learn to drive better and not use the breaks as much.

My OH has been using my car for the last 3 weeks as i've been using the MIL's car. Today I got in my car...

Stereo on full, no fuel, no screen wash, front wheels were black, hand break was on very tight too! Grrr...

and always late for work and need to just abandon the car anywhere rather than be 5 minutes early and get an actual space.hence car with scratches,dents,etc.. dont know how that could have happened

The best alloy wheel cleaner is Gazmit, an Albanian at my local hand wash.:D He knows I'm fussy about my alloys being clean so he does an extra special job on my wheelies.
