Carpro iron x is good stuff, plenty of videos on YouTube of it in action!

Just go careful with some strong acidic wheel cleaners as they can damage the chrome.

I used a clay bar on mine, brought them up a treat for ford fair after 6months of no cleaning. There aren't very many chemicals that work, you need good old fashioned elbow grease

I used to use brick acid!! spray it on and jet wash straight off but don't breath it in its very strong.

Check out Power Maxxed - they offered a member over on Detailing world that if their product doesn't remove all of the brake crud baked on, they'd give the money back.

Be careful with Chrome alloys, the finishes may get affected with products - id stick by a good iron/fallout remover (i've got iron-x) followed by a clay...

iron x is good i have even used it on paintwork after i had been grinding near my white 3 door i kept seeing tiny rust flecks on it from the grinding a detailer friend recomended iron x to me as he said it was even safe on paintwork and it worked a treat brought the wheels up a treat too. smells like a corpse tho!
