Question

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.

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 :-)
