I use P-21S (
www.p21s.com ). Endorsed by Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, and BBS.
Spray it on, wipe with a sponge, rinse off. A bit more work than the "Instant" wheel cleaners, but it's gentle on the finish.

i used the bmw approved wheel cleaner which is a acid based solution, spray on leave for 10mins wash off, i always wax my wheels, makes them very shiney and protects them from brake dust pitting.

How often are you meant to clean them? It's been a week and a half and I still haven't cleaned my car!

I refuse to believe that - I'd only had mine 2 days before it got washed!
Indie Blue/White Cooper ordered - Expecting Late March... hang on - make that mid March.
No, wait - it's here!!!!!!!!!!
Woo Hoo!!!

You should use Comma - Alloy Wheel Wash or Wonder Wheels. Both topped in Auto Express!
I've also just bought some other products to clean my clean. Bloody expensive...

I reckon with the 5-spokes there's enough space to get a dish-washing brush in around the spokes and that it will probably be highly effective too....
I draw the line at wearing marigolds to wash the car though as someone here suggested!
