Alloy Wheel Cleaner - Polished Black Alloys

[Claire-i1bmr]

I've got new polished black alloys, and will be washing them this weekend. I've had a look at some reviews and wondered if anyone had black alloys and has ever used Bilt Hamber auto wheel cleaner on them?

Any other cleaners that anyone has used on black polished alloys that don't ruin them?

Wheel protector - I see Poorboys wheel sealant come up as highly rated, and it looks like it's suitable for all types of alloys.

Any recommendations on cleaner and protector gratefully received..

Thanks very much to both of you.
Will look up those products.

Normal wax will do the job - what do you mean by normal wax? Apologies if that sounds like a stupid question!

Thanks Alex, the family car has very fiddly alloys and it already has a build up of brake dust, spots of tar on it even though it gets cleaned every 1-2 weeks. It was like that when we bought it.
As they are standard wheels I will use any of the recommended cleaners and the stuff you recommended to get the crap out from deeper into the wheel behind the spokes.

My commuting and daily car is the one with polished black alloys so I need to tread more carefully, and seeing as these new alloys have only been on the car a week, I want to start off properly and not end up having to scrub like a 1800's deck hand.
