I'm the proud owner of a 9 day old 2011 Tacoma double cab with alloy wheels. This is the first vehicle I've owned with alloy's. What cleaner do you guys recommend/use to clean them?

i just tried the new mothers all wheel and tire cleaner last night and it worked great! It cleans the tire and the wheel at the same time. Just sprayed it all over the entire wheel and tire and pressure washed it off. Got it at vatozone.
