Bilberry Safe wheel cleaner from Ultimate Finish website. 5L is £27.00.

If you haven’t been to that site then beware, it can seriously upset anyone with car cleaning OCD - and empty your bank account :o

I usually use PowerMaxed non-acidic frequent-use wheel cleaner. But every 3rd or 4th wash I use fall-out remover (currently DevilsBlood).
October 2012 build X3 30d SE, Bluewater.  Now with Webasto sunroof and paddle-shift   8)

I'll be passing the Ultimate Finish premises next week, it seems they're local, I've got some refurbished wheels to collect. Its likely to be an expensive day on Weds :D

So i called in at Ultimate Finish today.

They detail cars their and only sell products mail order via the website. Theres no retail facilities at all so a wasted trip, aside from collecting some rather nice wheels.
