Autoglym do an engine de-greaser (to be used with a Jetwash) and you can get a non-acidic whell cleaner from Neilson, but you will have to buy 5 litres at about£ 30

Thumbs up

A Kercher power washer from B&Q (end of line sale) so some serious discounts available! Saves a lot of elbow grease and doesnt eat you calipers like most wheel cleaners do.

If you care to email me from my profile I will be more than happy to email you GRATIS some fact/help sheets on this subject(s). The articles were published in a couple of magazines I used to write for.
