Question Cleaning wheels

I have just tried cleaning my wheels after 3 months and can not seem to remove all the brake dust from the inside of the wheels, furthermore the spokes on the inside are black with dust. I have tried using Wonder wheels but this seems to have only removed the top layer. Can anyone advise whats the best way to remove the caked on dust and grime???

Very simple. Maguires Hot Rims. If I haven't cleaned the car/wheels for weeks and the dust is really stuck on, it just takes a spray and a wash off and it's done! If yours are really bad it may take 2 applications and a rub the first time, after that, easy. Spent months trying rubbish Auto Glym/Wonder Wheels and the like. Do a search and you'll find it at £6.99 + free delivery.
