wonder wheels is good stuff i bought 5 litres from costco's for £8 its like acid does good job on stubborn grime though, spray and brush in i have an autoglym wheel brush and wash of straight away as it dries on in hot weather. another good one i use if wheels arnt that dirty is engine degreaser you can buy out of poundland bright blue stuff looks like antifreeze and only a pound :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:

Wonder wheels is my favourite but not sure whether you can use it on stainless.

Believe it or not Cillit-Bang is very good and pretty harmless LOL!

Finally, I clay-barred (call me sad I dont care) my wheels on Monday and its great for removing all the stuff the above struggle with :-)

might give wonder wheels a blast then :-k just that i went into halfords to look at what they had and everything had warnings on the back saying dont use on chrome/ mirror finishes, un laquered, or split rims #-o but if you say it worked on your exhaust should be ok. 8)
