Wheel Cleaner (which one)

I have been slowly trying different wheel cleaners and I really can't find one that involves a lot less wiping.

Is there any popular locally found cleaner that any of you cleaning guru's recommend.

I need something that:

1. is safe
2. cleans quickly without wiping my *** off
3.helps slow down brake dust getting on the wheels.

wheel cleaners can cause problems, your best bet is to just clean them with normal carwash soap and switch to project mu pads, they have no dust.. i have never used wheel cleaner, and after fours years the rims still look new..
4 years on those brakes too..

If you want something that isn't going to take much effort use a gel because it will stick to a rim and work where a degreaser would just run off. p21s is good

I like the "Meguiar's Hot Rims" wheel cleaner. Used it for years with NO issues at all.
