I remember a while back, Tim mentioned something about lemonade and fairy liquid being the best
Well, definitely lemonade, not 100% sure what the other component was, some soap of some sort

Auto Express have a weekly consumer-test section and a few weeks ago it was on alloy wheel cleaners. They do some quite exhaustive testing. I'll look up the bestbuy and recommendations for you & let you know tomorrow night. This weeks is on steering-wheel security devices, and you'd be surprised at the results - some only lasted 6 seconds!
