Auto Glym Clean Wheels or AG Custom Wheel Cleaner.

The latter is less harsh.

Bilberry, can use it neat (Expensive!) or dilute it up to 1:5ish and it's still quite potent.

Spray that on, will shift most of it - you'll have to get scrubbing though for the proper ingrained shit.

Imagine the iron particles that must have built up on cars over the years until 5 minutes ago when it was posted on detailing world that there was an iron particle remover, cars must have been about 2 foot deep in iron.

There is a very strong acid wheel cleaner from Autosmart (Treble X) which isn't far from brick acid, but even when heavily diluted it's fricking lethal stuff and will ruin wheels. Is more designed for the use of removing concrete from paintwork.

Would certainly never recommend using it on wheels to remove brake dust though!

Steve - Megs Wheel Brightener if you want a mild acid, Autosmart Smart Wheels or Valet Pro Bilberry for a non acidic one, Iron X maybe a handful of times a year. Try using a better sealant than Jetseal on them too.
