Turps will do the job. It also gets those nasty tar spot off the paint as well
Just use a soft, lindt free cloth and will work like a charm.

Not effect on the paintwork by doing that? I have some tar marks on my white lib I cant get off...

Oh yeah and shower power (no joke) made my chrome rims on my old lib come up pretty well, just I wouldnt suggest leaving it on too long.

like MRNLUKE i use about a lid full of kero in a bucket of water when cleaning my car, it cleans of the hard to get off crap plus adds a little shine and doesnt ruin the paint work

I would be VERY careful using turps/kero...... The reason it "works so well" is that it is taking a layer of clear coat off the top of the paint and thus leaving a nice clean and shiney surface. But do this a few times and you clear coat becomes thin and then next time a bird poops on your car...... straight to the paint and its there for good. I would suggest using clear coat safe car wash (wash and wax is ok) and as for the rims, if it is indeed stainless steel... then go get some stainless steel cleaner. As this does as its name suggests.
