Amazing wheel cleaner that gets the tiny black bits of brake dust off the alloys that sits in the corners please! I have orange wheels and it's really noticeable, I can get most of it off with a standard halfords alloy cleaner, but some stubborn bits will not shift!

I worry if I don't tackle it soon they will never come off. What you guys recommend?

mkv wheel cleaner, go over wheels once with it and a brush, wash off then go over again and leave on for a while, most washes off.

Failing that use a bit of clay to get the last bits off.

wiping nose, i've done that, or as you work it in witht he brush it can sometimes splash up. If you have a brick drive just pour a bit on it and see how it burns the brick.

Do you need to seal your wheels again after using this? i.e does it strip everything off?

Iron X as said, it dissolves the tar, if not the first time then a couple more sprays, it doesn't take much nor does it need scrubbing.
