Many thanks for!

Smart wheels by Autosmart is my go to cleaner, it is a concentrate and once you have cleaned them properly and then waxed with say FK1000P you will only need to wash them with your shampoo (not fairy) for the next 12 months.
Just noticed the date of the OP but still relevant to all who read lol. Edited by Easy71 - 25 Apr 2015 at 6:57pm |

Another Autosmart product for alloys and al all purpose cleaners is G101.
Also try Kleers products (they sponsor car club concours so must be ggod to recommend) and Meguiars Hot Rims

I used the Kleers alloy wheel cleaner recently along with their wax, tyre dressing, metal polish and found all the products to be excellent

I agree with most above, Autosmart Smartwheels to remove bad staining, how strong you mix it depends on how strong the staining is and how thick your Marigolds are, its pretty strong (but excellent) stuff. I use PoorBoys wheel sealant, its pretty good stuff and as mentioned above, just needs washed with a PH neutral shampoo.
For refurb, I also use The Wheel Specialist. This colour is TWS 1  These wheels were refurbished in Jan 2013 and this picture taken May 2015
