I use meguires alloy cleaner spray on and leave for a few mins and rise of brilliant stuff,

There are hundreds of products out there and i am still convinced they are all the same just in different bottles,

However, Nothing wrong with hot soapy water and a good scrubbing brush

Neil that stuff you're on about.. do you never need to scrub the wheel? Just spray on then rinse off and it removes ALL the dirt/ brake dust?

Or am I dreaming?

I really don't know how you can be bothered cleaning your wheels Neil. They look like a right mission to get into all the little corners.

Mine are easy to clean compared to some others, but it's still a pain in the arse having to do them.
