You can buy a dedicated wheel cleaner, I have one in my detailing kit by Autoglym, works quite well, aside from that, I've used a liberal spray of brake cleaner in the past which also worked well. Blast with power washer, spray, agitate with a brush or even a piece of steel wool, and blast again with a power washer.

Hi,
I normally use the Blue alloy wheel cleaner from Reflect Autocare. I find it cleans well without being too harsh. If you are using a power washer i normally find when using the cleaner i don't have to touch the wheels to clean them. Granted it is only brake dust and not grease.

CarPro Iron X is great at removing caked in dirt and brake dust fallout.

Seconded. Incredible stuff.

Wheel cleaner spray and a long handle soft brush wheel cleaner.

Failing that, take the wheels off and clean.
Apply a coating to back to repeal sort etc going forward.

Thirded. Smells a bit funky but works brilliantly.

Can this be used on diamond cut wheels?

Yes. But with any diamond cut wheel best not leave it dwell too long. And use soft brushes like wheel woolies or a microfibre.

Many thanks. Only ever use microfibre on the wheels.

Try Red Ox from Reflect. It's their own fallout remover.

Don't even need to use a brush with Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel when using a pressure washer. Savage stuff, really speeds up the wash process as the wheels just rinse off easy.

Another vote for the Bilt Hamber auto wheel, it rarely needs a brush to agitate it, and you don’t end up using loads of it.

smells awful though.

I echo other people's opinions that Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel is a great product. And that there is a woeful smell from it.

IronX is the same, smells terrible.
