I use Karcher wheel cleaning spray - it just eats brake dust like magic! Simoniz is a good one too

Poorboys wheel sealant also helps once they are cleant o keep them clean

Halfords wheel brushs I find are great. I usually use an old microfibre wash mitt or non scratch sponge (don't put that on your paintwork though).

I got some Meguiars Hot Rims. It's not great but it's wax friendly. Megs Wheel Brighter is highly regarded but you have to be careful with the dilution ratios as it is strong

not a fan of any acidic wheel cleaners, i just tend to use a sponge, alloy cleaning brush and normal water and shampoo. never had a problem with brake dust bonding on but if there is any tar or other bonded contaminent on the dish i just give it a quick claybar

If its really bad I have the option of using an AutoGlym non-acidic wheel cleaner but with my RMs at the moment I'm simply using AG car shampoo/conditioner with lukewarm water and a sponge and wheel brush.

I just use the Meguair's Gold Class Shampoo I use on the car body. I wash regularly enough that Wheel Cleaner's shouldn't be necessary. Don't think I'd use them now anyway since I've refurbed. Am considering getting some Poorboy's Wheel Sealant for the Winter or similar since I've polished my Rims.

i use autoglym shampoo on the centers...then rinse & scrub with a wheel brush (although the middle metal bit scares me)

Then dry and use auto glym all metal polish on the outers, let it dry a bit and buff up to a sick shine!
