Question Alloy Wheel Cleaner Recommendations?

Could you guys recommend me some quality alloy wheel cleaner.

As I am keeping the standard wheels for now I want to clean them. They are covered in black marks which I cannot remove! I have tried Autoglym tar remover and alloy wheel cleaner but still it stays!

Please help!

Thanks the advice, will be ordering with a few more bits.

Just one last question, I have a few marks on my leather seats. Any chance you could recommend a good cleaner for my seats also?

Paul also suggested a mild clay to me too, and it really brings up the worst of the white bits a treat. It did take 3 hours and sore fingers to get all 4 wheels done, but it was really worth it

For leather cleaner I have always heard good things about the BMW stuff.

Best leather cleaner for me is gliptone spray cleaner , spray wait 20 seconds and wipe with clean microfibre follow it up with gliptone leather feed this will leave you with a clean and great smelling interior.

I've got some Megs leather cleaner somewhere. If I find it you can have it as I don't have leather seats anymore...
