Another vote for this. Though are the wheels simply dirty or have they not been cleaned in ages. If the later than I would suggest some Iron X too as really helps clean up the bonded brake dust.

Never been cleaned

Looks like good stuff, spray, brush, leave for 5 mins then wash off

If you want them absolutely perfect, take them off the car one by one and then you can really get in and scrub every inch.

They are off the car as we speak as they are my old ones.

IornX ordered, will grab a decent scrubbing brush

Bilberry Cleaner, whilst good, is very 2005. It's all about the Iron X now with a cursory wipe over after with a mix of dilute bilberry.

Iron X will literally change your world....

I'll get before and after pics

What I sometimes wonder about doing is buying a seperate snowfoam lance and using billberry or similar in it just to snowfoam the wheels - because from experience the billberry etc never gets into all the nooks and crannys.

Worth a try
