Wheel cleaner recommendations

Currently use bilberry wheel cleaner and I was wondering if this is the best for value or are there any better ones?
Any suggestions?

The inner faces of my alloys hadn't been touched for over a year. Despite this, bilberry brought them up nicely.
AS smart wheels are another DW fave.

I like auto bright very cherry wheel cleaner - mine you my wheels are sealed well, so it makes light work of cleaning, I use it at a very weak mix

Megs alloy wheel cleaner is good stuff.
The easy way is to clean them , polish and seal them. That way the next time you clean them , just a shampoo will be all you need

As with any wheel cleaner, it's usually best to dilute them which can help reduce the harshness and risk of damage. I believe the latter occurs if left on too long rather than just from the product itself.

Yes , but as with all wheel cleaner's I would still dilute it slightly. Just don't leave the product on the wheel for to long as per instructions.

Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel came top of a magazine group test recently. Haven't tried it myself yet, but I might get some soon.
