Have a read to the guide to wheel care on my site...

http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acata...es_wheels.html

I would go with P21S Total Auto Wash (to dissolve all the tar and crud), then Klasse All In One (to remove any persistent brake dust spots and add a tough layer of acrylic protection), then two to three coats of Poorboy's Wheel Sealant to help prevent brake dust and tar sticking in the future. Repeat every 3-6 months for best results/protection. Also, don't forget to dress both sides of the tyres with a decent water-based tyre dressing, like Poorboy's Bold N Bright.

Polished Bliss - this looks like a top site, with lot's of detail and with safety and practicality very much in mind. Will be studying up prior to my annual major close-up inspection of paintwork for stonechips etc. The inside of my wheels have stubborn baked on brake dust - a lot of which I have from time to time reduced (but never successfully eradicated) with an old toothbrush and elbow grease - and yes, I know I should really take the wheels off to make the job easier.

If ever any of you guys have a really bad brake dust problem that normal products won't shift, Meguiars Wheel Brightener is the product to go for, but it only comes in gallon sizes. I don't stock it, as it is not really designed for enthusiasts, rather pro detailers (it's also very nasty stuff, and needs to be treated with respect), but Johnny at Clean and Shiny does it. Be warned though, it will strip laquer if not properly diluted, and it is hazardous to health and the environment.
