wheel cleaner -which ones are decent. (if any) 

[cem_devecioglu]

the paint on the wheel surface is an ordinary paint so dont wash them when hot , dont use hard surfaces to clean and dont use strong chemicals..

used wonder wheels on mine seems to do a good job

Agreed, assuming they still have paint on them treat them the same as bodywork, if there slightly tarnished with black brake dust, try normal T Cut or Compound followed by a good wax or polish.

Wonder Wheels

Then a good wax polish afterwards

Very cherry alloy wheel cleaner, non acid unlike the others which are little more than brick acid

I brush Wonder Wheels on, and immediately rinse off, one wheel at a time.

Haven't had a problem in 10 years.

I found the Auto Glym stuff to be pretty good.

Must admit, only tend to use it about once a year, mainly after the winter.

I wont use wonder wheels any more as its acidic and I have pretty much managed to prove that it was a major contributing factor to the dust sheilds on the discs becoming very corroded.

But I do spray on (dont really have do brush stuff).

The Very Cherry also removes the crudd and brake dust make easier and better than the acid products.

Bottom line is if your going down the wonder wheels route than save a few quid and buy patio cleaner and water it down.

Fair point, but brushing it on, I only put it on the wheels, it doesn't go anywhere else.

   I use one from Turtle and follow up with their brake dust barrier. does make the next wash very easy.
