Was chatting with next door neighbour and he said they were thinking of swapping car, offered to do a spruce up on their present one for them - I'd forgotten how bad it was as his wife was out in the car...
So took me about 45 mins just to clean the alloys. Dirty was an understatement ! Then spent the next few hours doing the car...
Let the pictures do the talking, but very happy with the end result of the alloys

Car was looking much better and they were very happy with the result - must have taken 5 years off its age
Had a little Auto Allure fallout left, which is thick, but not enough to do all the wheels, so thinned it down with some Tripple QX fallout remover, which is quite thin and runny.
The combination of the 2 worked very well, was easier to spray on, but still clinging well to the wheel and worked very well.
Personally i would not bother with a bleeding wheel cleaner on abused wheels for a quick tart up. I would go with a cheap and cheerful alkaline cleaner.
Quite runny and does have the distinctive smell that they have, but I don't find it too unpleasant.
I was very pleased with it, it thinned down the last of my AA iron it out stuff I had and as I recon it was probably 1/4 AA to 3/4 QX it worked very well indeed.
And it's cheap compared to a lot. I have read reviews on here - doesn't seem to bleed as much as others, but does remove contamination - I think it bled well as I don't think the 1/4 AA stuff would have bled like that being diluted down if the QX didn't add to it as well (if that makes sense).
I've got a tub of that triple QX fallout remover. Some others on here say it doesn't work and I was planning to mix 50/50 with another fallout remover. After seeing this I may try it on its own and see for myself.
