| I use P-21S (www.p21s.com). Endorsed by Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, and BBS. Spray it on, wipe with a sponge, rinse off. A bit more work than the "Instant" wheel cleaners, but it's gentle on the finish. Chip H. ex-MINI Cooper S owner  and all around good-guy  |

| i used the bmw approved wheel cleaner which is a acid based solution, spray on leave for 10mins wash off, i always wax my wheels, makes them very shiney and protects them from brake dust pitting. S12COT, Cooper 'S' arrives 14th April after 3 years without a Mini i could not help myself! |

| You should use Comma - Alloy Wheel Wash or Wonder Wheels. Both topped in Auto Express! I've also just bought some other products to clean my clean. Bloody expensive...  Hyper Blue/Blue MCSC with Chilli 'No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself' A. Carnegie |

| I reckon with the 5-spokes there's enough space to get a dish-washing brush in around the spokes and that it will probably be highly effective too.... I draw the line at wearing marigolds to wash the car though as someone here suggested! kjs |

| Id prefer to clean the 16" 5 spokers, than my 15" 8 spokers, 3 extra spokes per wheel, times 4, loads of extra work !! This is how I try to justify to myself that maybe I need to change to Chilli wheels.....maybe I am mad .......or what !!!!??   |
