extra stubborn wheel deposits?

[keith]

who remembers wonder wheels, I used to cack myself putting that on my wheels you could smell the potentcy

Autosmart do a strong wheel cleaner that contains acid, my brother had an oily residue on one alloy that wouldn't move for love nor money but this stuff got rid of it.

I do , wonder wheels would clean anything 

[JPC]

Wrong!! Wonder wheels will still struggle. Trust me. I did a test on a wheel that was surplus to requirements once and it didn't do anything more than wheel brightner, infact I think it did less. It certainly had me worried about using it

[john_o]

really 
I remember ruining a set of rimstars on my dads bx gti with wonder wheels by using it twice a week 

[JPC]

That's all it seems to do!!

[keith]

Its been cooled down since going to carplan theres two types on the market at the mo. ebay is a wash with it.
you could try tardis if its tar, I love watching that stuff melt away.

[JPC]

Tardis will help but I doubt it's tar. Brake dust will do jack sh*te with tardis. Be carefull with tardis too. Do one wheel at a time whatever you use jst to make sure you don't leave any harsh products on too long by accident

[VC]

yeah even the AG stuff says no longer than 60 seconds per wheel

[keith]

All the road repairs going on now after the ice snow and grit account for my two biggest sellers - tardis and bilberry wheel cleaner over the last two weeks.
I stopped using the megs wheel brightner as my calipers dulled slightly, and this was me trying to avoid touching them with the stuff. if it evens hints that it has acid in it doesn't go near my car.

[JPC]

Yep. Your right on that score Keith. That's why I don't recomend wheel brightner as a general use cleaner
