Advantages: Great for cleaning them. Disadvantages: Expensive.
...speaking of Auto Express, the Wonder wheels product is the number one selling and multiple award winning alloy wheel cleaner. Wonder wheels has won the Auto Express product honours for eleven consecutive years! OK that sounds like an advert, it is actually. I lifted it from the CarPlan site, have a look for yourself http://www.carplan.co.uk/index.cfm?page=1

Instructions. To use, firstly I suggest doing this just after washing the car, that way a lot of the dirt will already have been loosened, then apply the cleaner to the wheel with the brush, it should produce white foam, after letting it soak in for a few minutes, rinse off. I recommend that you then dry with a leather, then apply polish, yes polish, this will help prevent the black muck from sticking in the future, Price. 500ml will cost ...

Advantages: effective, easy, quick Disadvantages: nippy on skin, too expensive at Halfords (read review)
I have used this stuff for ages, cleans the wheels no problem. Brake dust just disappears, I never leave it on for a long time, basically, a quick brush on, agitate the solution on the rims, then hose off with cold water.
Always either wear gloves, or have a sponge in a bucket of water close by, if this gets on your skin it gets pretty itchy, pretty quick!!
I have never had a problem with the paint lifting off the rims, basically, if you are reasonably ... ...of 100+ alloys on my old Alfa 155, the wheels had gotten filthy with brake dust and there were chips on the rims, they came up really well.
PS, if you get it from Costco, you get a gallon for a couple of quid more than 500ml from Halfords, 9 times the volume for 1/5 extra cost ...

I have used this product for a good number of years and have always been pleased with the results!!! The kit comes with everything you need, a wheel brush, a small pot for using the solution, and the bottle of the solution. Every time i have used it i have been pleased with the results.
The brush is small enough to get round all the detail of the wheels, and hold enough of the solution to get the wheels nice and clean. It could be a touch stiffer ... ...does the job well. The brush also outlasts the kit and can find lots of uses elsewhere.
I normally use the solution 50/50 with water so it therefore lasts longer and still manages to get the dirt off!! im sure that really dirty wheels would need the solution to be used straight from the bottle.
I have never had any problems with the product causing any damage to the wheels or tyres or anything, and it is the best wheel cleaning product i have ever ...

Advantages: Fine for painted wheels Disadvantages: Ruined my 1 month old £1500 wheels :( I'm so upset.
I purchased this stuff from Costco in Manchester, near the Trafford Centre. The label on the front says "Super Alloy Wheel Cleaner", "Auto Express Best Buy - 7 Times Winner.", so I thought it was probably pretty good stuff and would do the job of cleaning my new Volk alloy wheels.
How wrong I was. The 'Important' small print on the reverse, states that this stuff is no good for "un-lacquered, forged, anodised, chrome plated, un-lacquered and polished ... ...lacquer or split rims".
Basically, that means it's only any good for going over paint or varnish (lacquer), and not actually any use on metal, which one would assume a wheel cleaner would be useful for.
The end result is that my 1 month old £1500 wheels are now damaged, where the ACID (Hydrochloric acid, which is what this stuff is) has etched into the polished metal surface.
So basically this stuff is fine for cheap painted wheels, but no good ...

Advantages: Cleans your wheels Disadvantages: not really 'instant' you still have to work at it.
...the 'nicely expensive' but wonderful wonder wheels.
At around £10 for 500ml its about £4 more than 'other' makes of wheel cleaners. You apply it with the supplied brush in the supplied little pot and agitate it well into the wheel. Leave a minute...no longer than a minute or it will dry on...then rinse off.
Ok you have to use a brush and it takes more time than just using a sponge..but a sponge wouldn't get the 'ingrained brakedust' off....this ...

Advantages: possibly okay on standard alloys that have no damage to the laquer Disadvantages: destroys laquer/chrome/most coatings wheels ahve on them
...had gone rusty, cos the wonder wheels ate the laquer of the polished steel nuts. This stuff is bloody dangerous, what is wrong with soap and water. READ THE SMALL PRINT, u cant even use this stuff on standard grey alloys that have a single kerb mark on them as the acid gets under the laquer there and eats the paint from the inside out
i rated this excellent durability cos its the strongest cleaner ive ever seen, i reckon it could eat through anything,shame ...
