Bilt-Hamber - odd smell but very effective

An old joke played on apprentices by the more experienced. 'Go to the store and ask Harry for a tub of elbow grease / a long weight / sky hook / tartan paint etc etc'

remember to wax the wheels and they are alot easier to clean

+1 for bilberry - also i use Collonite on the wheels as its hard wax - really makes it easy to clean them.

Yep wax on wheels is the way to go..........Do not use polish though as it strips alway the paint...

I don't really use harsh chemicals on the wheels as after time it starts to strip the coating but I did have a rummage around at the back if the garage cupboard the other day and found some Wonder Wheels. The brake dust just ran off....very good and I'd def recommend it if ease of use is what your after.

I also have a gallon of raspberry looking liquid in the garage that I rarely use. It's supposed to be less harsh on the wheels but I found that just means it does not strip as well as the Wonder Wheels.
