Use Muc Off - it's a bike cleaner made by a bike company called X-lite you can buy it in bike shops... I have loads of the stuff and it works a treat at this sort of thing. Though it its so dirty that you can't even get it off with alloy wheel cleaner you are probably going to replace it and take better care of your car in future.
