Yes, the age old topic.

I've tried soapy water, I've tried Wonderwheels, I've scrubbed at the wheel for an hour - the stuff is just not shifting.

What other options are there- anything heavier duty to try?

Cheers

Try Autosol metal cleaner (Comes in a black/gold tube!) or you could try the stuff that autoglym supply (Think that's in a blue/silver tube)
I haven't presonally used the autoglym stuff but the Autosol is really good gear!

Cheers,

Nick..

Have you tried a clay bar? Very good. Waxwizard sell em, and I think a few other places now. Works pretty well, saying that I had DS3000 contamination that Subaru had to give up on and refurb all the wheels :(

I use aluminium cleaner that's for cleaning the sides of lorries(diluted 50/50)...just sprays on and needs very little agitation with a brush..quick spray with the power hose and sparkling wheels in a few minutes...doesn't harm the wheels..£12 for a gallon

Do you have any children in the family? Make them work for their pocket money. :D :D :D

Sorry, my only suggestion would be wonderwheels but you've done that..

Some good suggestions, thanks. What about the refurb option. Who does it, where and how much :-)
