The bodywork wasn't a problem (the moss came off much easier than I thought it would), but the wheels were a completely different story. Elbow grease wouldn't even touch the solidified brake-dust. I went out (UK) and got the wheel cleaner with the most stern warnings about corrosiveness that I could find. It turned out to be "Wonder Wheels". It was absolutely bloody miraculous. The wheels came up lovely and I still have three-quarters of the bottle left for next-years wash. Cheers, Colin.
