A cut down tooth brush head on a wire coat hanger worked for me.

Alloy wheel cleaner, CarPlan, comes in a silver and black box, or use a pressure washer.
Must try harder

Another vote for the dish washer.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

:cough: Dishwasher :cough:
(just in case SWMBO reads this)..
I guess the powder + "cocktail shaking time" would do just the same job, but the dishwasher is less effort...
Long live RWD...

this has been asked at least 2 x previously so a search will give more ideas.
my suggestion is to use sme detergent then put a few glass beads or ball bearing, seal up the tank and shake.
very often the plastic itself is stained so it wil never become transparent.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
