Have a 54 JCW with White wheels and noticed some of the brake dust is starting to stick on. What cleaning products best? Use Wonder Wheels for my silver audi alloys but not sure if it would damage the White finish.
Appreciate any advice.

I used wonder wheels on our white alloyed mcs. Didnt do any damage in the two years we owned it and cleaned well. I was a bit worried after the state our enamel sink got in after my wife continually cleaned it with bleach. Luckily the alloy wheels didnt go the same way.....

The finish on most wheels is paint silver white or other. Cleaning is the same for most types no mater if white or silver.

Use this or alternatively Very cherry http://www.autobritedirect.co.uk/index.php/wheels-... to get most of the dust off and then Purple rain to get rid of the ingrained metal http://www.autobritedirect.co.uk/index.php/wheels-...

If you haven't got a wheel brush then although not brilliant this will do the job, If you want something a lot better then there are better options but they cost more. http://www.autobritedirect.co.uk/index.php/wheels-...

Once clean if you apply some sort of protection such as http://www.autobritedirect.co.uk/index.php/wheels-... it will prevent the dirt sticking to the wheels too much.

Wonder wheels is nasty stuff for you more than the wheels and is best avoided.

White wheels take some looking after but with the right kit it will make keeping them looking good a lot easier.
