    What's the best product to use on grubby wheels, the paints ok but just looks a bit dull and flat.

    I've used Cillit Bang on car alloy wheels, with baked on brake dust, to good effect.

    I agree the Elbow Grease spray in a bottle is excellent and good value compared to Muc Off etc.
    B&M do a 500ml bottle for circa £2

    Be careful though as i think it has a fair bit of caustic soda in it so avoid leaving on paint for too long.
