Alloy Wheel Cleaner!

Hi

Can anyone recommend a good alloy wheel cleaner, got a bit of a build up of brake dust which is a wee bit hard to remove!

Look forward to any tips as well! Thumbs Up '56 Disco 3 SE - Tonga Green

Mr Muscle oven cleaner works brilliantly. Shocked
It was TazDaz that put me onto it here: http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic15084.h...p;start=15
I've only done this once after not washing the car all winter and finding the brake dust was baked hard onto the alloys, but they came up as new. I put plenty of wheel protector on afterwards in case i'd taken the surface off, but all still seems ok a year later - I'm about to do it again this year!

I hear that using a 'magic' eraser works wonders
