I like P21 Auto Wash and a OXO brush. Cleans and not abrasive.

I have been using liquid wax (any kind, like Meguiars) for years.

Do it when the car is dry. Just put the liquid wax on a micro fibre cloth (I use the yellow one from Costco. Good price, disposable), and then gently wipe it on the wheel.

The liquid wax will magically pick up all the dirt and brake dust on the wheel.

I can clean my wheels within minutes.

Regards,
