As above Wonder wheels (and a stiff brush) and let it soak for a while , try not to get too much on the face of the wheel though . Then remember to give the whole wheel a good coat of (long lasting) polish to make it easier to shift next time .

Spot on Dave - you shouldn't use Wonder Wheels very often, as it's very aggressive, and will eat your rims over time if used regularly. Once they are clean, the ideal product to protect them and make then easy to clean in future is Poorboy's Wheel Sealant. However, if you don't have any, apply a normal wax or sealant for now.

Use a claybar to get rid of baked on brake dust, wax the wheels then wash using your regular shampoo.
