I am wanting to clean my Alloys on my car, they never seem to get very clean with car shampoo and a spongue, too uch break dust and dirt on them.

Can anyone recomend a decent car alloy wheel cleaner? Will I need to get a alloy wheel brush as well?

    Not cheap but the best stuff you can buy.

    You want the Spray & Rinse Wheel Cleaner (wash them with a microfibre cloth) and then couple of coats of the wheel sealant - makes it much easier to clean them in the future.
    Never argue with an idiot. He will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.

    I use Wilkos Cheap Alloy Wheel Cleaner and one of those wash mitts to get the stuff off.

    Spray it, leave it for 2 minutes and wipe. Brilliant stuff.

    For many years i only used Auto glym, found meguiars and have used it ever since, a bit dearer than others but some cheapies will etch into the alloy, then its repolishing at something like 25.00 per wheel!!
