Ive just washed my car, iv got black streakes on my alloys but it just wont shift. I even used the 'wheel rim cleaner' supplied to me by Mini when i gor the car.
Any ideas how to remove these ?

Some elbow grease with a micro-fibre cloth?

Failing that, this is really good wheel cleaner http://www.bilthamber.com/cleaning-and-degreasing/auto-wheel-1

All MINI products are "acid Free" there fore it is hard to shift any substances such as OIL or Tyre Black, be careful using products containing any chemicals that are acidic as if it gets on your plastic trims, it will fade the colour!

Wonderwheels is now acid free.

I had the same problem, it was excess copper-slip grease that I put on the hubs. The easiest way to get it off is to rub neat shampoo on it to break down the grease, then it just rinses off.
