Bilt-Hamber - odd smell but very effective

This is what i use too, Wonder wheels etc may do a slightly better job on wheels that are a severe mess (not cleaned for months on end) but this stuff is still effective, no acid and not corosive. it was the only stuff i could use on the split rims on my Porsche without it corroding the wheels

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.

The gallon of raspberry fluid in the garage is Bilberry, I am not a massive fan of it TBH but it should be less corrosive on your wheels.

zymol wheel wash is made of mostly peppermint oil; it is truly amazing and leaves the wheel coated so brake dust does not stick either... I have the wheels off and wash with wheel cleaner, clay bar them,HD-Cleanse, wax (titanium) and then spritz with wheel coat.... Very rewarding till next time you kerb the darn things!
