Alloy Wheels

[MarcB]

Im looking to see about getting some decent alloy wheel cleaner and a long alloy wheel brush to get through the spokes of the wheels.

I have seen and rear a lot about Bulburry (SP) and Iron X as I'm looking to get a non acid cleaner as i don't want to mess the alloy wheels up with acids.
The brush I'm also looking for has to be long enough to get the width of the alloy wheel and not be too hard or brillo pad like as i don't want to be scratching the wheels.

Can someone point me in the direction of some good decent stuff with links ?

Wheel brush, mine has lasted 4years now

Or wheel woolies

I have never been overly impressed by generic wheel cleaners and find them no better than a highly diluted all purpose cleaner for regular use.
Get them properly de greased and follow with a tar remover and iron remover that you'd use on painted panels, and seal with a nano coating like gtechniq C5 and all you'll need is shampoo to wash them for the next year

Id like to know this too. Ive been using Bilthamber wheel cleaner http://www.bilthamber.com/car-cleaning-and-degreasing/auto-wheel-110 but am guessing there is better/cheaper stuff.

Bilberry is pretty good although I prefer wonder wheels hot wheels from Morrison's for £4. Then hit it with Iron X / clay any stubborn bits.
In terms of brushes, wheel woolies are regarded as some of the best tools for the job.

Once they are clean it's worth the extra on sealing them. Will make maintenance so much easier plus no need for any harsh chemicals. I use wheel woolies with normal shampoo once sealed but most comes of after the pre wash.
