How can you get it off, tried some strong cleaning productions and harder alloy wheel brushes, but still cant get the crap and brake dust off my wheels.
Any ideas?

You mean ... mild, green fairy liquid is damaging to cars?
Does it eat the paint?

Wots the best alloy cleaner for painted wheels ie team dynamics in gloss black, without taking the paint off or fading them
