    no touch all wheel care from costco, i think it comes in 4 20oz spray cans for like $15. spray on, rub with a sponge, or something, rinse it off, and buff it. works great for me

    After you clean it up, Wheel Wax works great for keeping the brake dust and dirt to a minimum.

    Agreed. The safest route to cleaning wheels and other components is to simply use soapy water. If you still have areas that remain soiled, you can try a different method, but its generally not necessary if they've been maintained on a regular basis.

    X3- Nothing can substitute for close attention paid up close with a rag and/or soft bristle brush.
    A coat of wheel wax or a paint preservative will keep brake dust down.
