PITA to clean.
The problem with the Wheel Woolies and the Halfords brush is that they're too thick to get into the spokes. The Halfords brush I had was used about 4 times before it was binned. Wheel Wollies sitting in a bag unused.
Had to replace all the lotions and potions I have as stocks were running low. Moved over to the Gyeon stuff to give it a try.
Can honestly say the best results I've had cleaning the wheels is a combination of Gyeon - Q2M Foam, Gyeon Q²M Iron and Gyeon Q²M Tar.
Brake dust removed with the Iron remover and some stains that wouldn't come off without a lot of hard work came off with the Tar remover with very little effort.
I'm convinced all the Tar removal treatments are actually Turpentine.
Foam the car and the wheels
Rinse
Iron on the wheels and leave for whatever it says on the bottle
Rinse
Any bad tar marks or brake dust, staining etc. that won't come off spray it with the Tar remover. Again leave for however long it says on the bottle.
Rinse and repeat if required.
And that's it. No brushes involved and very little effort.
Bilt Hamber - Korrosol Iron Remover also gets good reviews and is a bit cheaper.
