How can I clean brake dust from my Volvo V70's wheels?

What is the best method for cleaning the wheels on my new Volvo V70? I guess it's residue from the brake pads. My high pressure cleaner that will punch a hole through tarmac won't remove it.

You need a specialist product, like Comma's Alloy Wheel Clean Kit, Wynn's Fast Action Wheel Cleaner, or Decosol Wheel Cleaner. All cost between £5-£10 and are applied by brush or spray.
