I use a product from halfords called wonder wheels... think its made by car plan...

Works absolutely fantastic and baked on brake dust just brushes off easily... would have a look on the box though and it will tell you what wheel finishes you cannot use it on...

think it is just laquered or chromed surfaces that it cannot be used on

Have a go on the search facility. Some time ago there was a thread about which cleaners club members used.

Wonder wheels are mainly used on older wheels and never ever use them on new wheels. I have just bought Meguiars Wheel Brightener (https://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog ... heels.html) and use this on my BMW & Wifes Megane. You set dilution 1 to 4 and with the size of it you will save £££££.

Was your pink liquid called Muc Off? Muc off is quite good at getting anything clean
