If I can make a bit of a suggestion here - the chemicals in the various cleaners can be more effective if the surface has had a good pre-clean with a good scrub and then using a steam cleaner to get the muck off and heat up the remaining dirt before attacking it with the likes of Autoglym's engine cleaner, a decent citrus acid based fluid etc, with the steam cleaner again being used to wash down the wheel.  That's been the approach I have used in the past with one of those small steam cleaner products and it's been the last step before the 1500 grade comes out.  In most cases it as helped shift all but the limpet-class stuff, and meant the wet n' dry stage has been less involved.
