I've been using my power washer to get the worst of it off and then using car plan wonder wheels which seems to come up really well. I bought a double pack which had wonder wheels and a car plan wax for a tenner and it even came with a free mini copper - model obviously!

I use truckwash and curtain clean. It removes brake dust without scrubbing, just need to jet wash off.

Very good stuff. Brill on the engine too.

It's made by Comma under the guise of Power Pro. I buy it from Oscotts.

I'm not sure how it compares to Virosol but it's pretty potent.

Cheers,

Jon.
