My brother uses Cif on his white Mk2 Golf. Comes up wonders.....
As for your alloys.... I'd give it a go personally but I take no responsibilty....haha.

Lol, no, these car cleaning products are not a fad, they are made specially for use on wheels and to be safe without damaging the paint...?
I would use a pressure washer on them together with some meguiars hot rims and some elbow grease and then pressure wash again to fully rinse 
Hot rims is really strong acid/alkalie, id get a good wheel cleaner,
sonax full effect is brilliant
And some iron-x and tar remover.
Should get them spotless without the risk of dulling them or removing the paint!

I agree it is strong but I doubt it would strip the paint off or even dullen them, never had a problem using it on my alloys
But well advised by Sweex

Used it on my dads once and the paint dulled.
Although these were factory alloys and probably had many acids on them in the past!
Sorry to hear this mate @Sweex used it on my own wheels and my mums factory Honda alloys and had no problems I also like to use Meguiars Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier once the alloys are clean I find that re-cleaning them is easier once they have been washed waxed and a barrier used. I am sure some will disagree about the barrier but I can only speak from experience and from what I have personally used.
