i use some stuff i got at work... i work at a bicycle shop and the stuff i use is strong enough to take off grease, dirt and any other crap. all i do is spray it on, let it sit for a minute, then use a wheel brush to loosen all the crap off the wheels. just rinse and im done.

What kind of wax do you use for the wheels? Anything that would be Recommended.

Simple Green is about as good as it gets. Spray undiluted and let it sit for around 1 minute; rinse with a hose and wipe clean with a towel. No problems with staining or paint damage.

Whatever wax you happen to have on hand for your regular clearcoat should work fine. Wax make sit easier to clean off the brake dust..

the mr.clean items work good, although I wouldn't recommend anyone use them, as stated above. They aren't the cheapest thing either. I'm guess two rims and you would need another eraser. Stick with rims polish, and any brand for your tires, I personally like the foams, but all of them work.
