I used to use Eagle One A20 wheel cleaner. It is one of the strongest wheel cleaners on the market today. Problem is, it is so strong that I feel that it has made the clearcoat on my wheels fade. I now use S100 gel wheel cleaner (it's the same stuff as P21S wheel cleaner, just cheaper in price because the brand is marketed to a lower income bracket). It has a neutral ph balance which makes it safe to use on any wheel. You can get this stuff at a Harley-Davidson dealership in the detailing products section. But, I think the best technique you can use is a simply clay bar and lube, such as a ton of car wash soap w.water plus a clay bar made by Clay Magic. The mother's or meguire's clay bars are not aggressive enough and break-down easily. If nothing else works please let me know, maybe you can stop by JMU and I can take a look at the problem. My last-resort product would be mineral spirits, which can be found at a Home Depot. It has helped where washing, clay bars, and bug/tar removers can't cut it very easily. Soak the area with the mineral spirits for 10 minutes to try to loosen the gunk before attempting to remove. Lastly, next time anyone is in need of my help I ask that everyone please pm me because I am rarely on the site. Good luck and please let me know how everything goes.
