USE THIS TIP WITH CAUTION ITS A FAIRLY AGGRESSIVE CHEMICAL
I discovered this by accident when cleaning my Diversion I use a chemical wheel cleaner called Wonder Wheels it's amazing stuff apply it to the wheels with a brush wait a few minutes and then rinse it off with a hosepipe it gets rid of all the brake dust and muck really easy, I've used this on all kinds of wheels / brake calipers, with great success, when I was cleaning the wheels on the Yam I also applied some to the front of the engine which it cleaned brilliantly, the Yam has a Stainless Steel Delkevic exhaust and had the usually yellow/brown tarnish. I noticed later that some of the Wonder Wheels fluid had dripped onto the exhaust header pipes and where it had been the surface was like new, I applied some more to the headers and rinsed it off all the tarnish had disappeared (apart from a little heavily engrained stuff which I cleaned off with a Loyblock), a quick five minute polish and they were like new.
I believe there is an acid component in this fluid therefore if you try be sensible and wear appropriate protective gear at least eye protection and gloves.
