Default Good wheel cleaner?

Its Sunday which means boring as hell day!
Seeing as the hose pipe ban has been lifted at last I think I'll spend a couple of hours cleaning the car. Can anyone recomend a good alloy wheel cleaner?
My sister sometimes goes to one of those car wash places and they put some kind of cleaner on her wheels on her Mk2 Golf GTI and it makes them look brand new! Wish I knew what they used!
Thanking you

i used tescos own last time! £1.20 a bottle!

i had to clean the wheels before having it photographed the next day, and i'd run out (usually use wonder wheels)

late at night, tesco the only place open, the only one they had was there own. i sneakily unscrewed the top, and it smelt exactly the same as wonder wheels. works fine!

I use 'Muc-Off'. It's the best I have used and remember I have White wheels, so need a good wheel cleaner. It is kind to the wheels too.

For really stubborn grime, I use Wonder Wheels, but that is very harsh, so only use it when really necessary.
