Wonder Wheels. And a cheap paintbrush from B&Q. The sets for pros, 20 for a fiver or something.

Its not too bad, be careful if you have any stickers on the wheels, as it will eat through them very quickly.

I think they are all the same more or less, if they've been sitting for a while it will take repeated applications.

Wonder wheels is very good.

Remember not to take too long using the stuff (It's Acid) and wash it off it plenty of water afterwards

Am a Wonder wheels man as well, yet to find anything better, although I'm toying with using some of the stuff we use to clean the lorry wheels, just scared it'll be too strong
