P21s gel cleaner. They have two, and they say:

[QUOTE]A person whose vehicle does not build up great amounts of brake dust and/or who keeps after it with regular cleaning may well find regular P21S does the job for him and thus he saves a couple of bucks.

P21S is nice and gentle. I have had good luck with it on Hondas, but it can't touch the sticky brake dust generated by OEM German brake pads.

By far the strongest while still being safe is einszett wheel cleaner. It is literally mist on and spray off.

p21s for wheels is about $15 (the gel is about $1 more than the spray)...

strongest wheel cleaner is AO a-z..

as a side note our rims are clear coated so they require some type of protection (ie wax) BUT most if not all wheel cleaners will strip off any wax you have on your wheels..

best protection is preventive maintance - I've put 10 coats of Z5 on my new oem rims and the brake dust does not stick at all - I wash the car once a week and when done with the car i pay attention to the rims..
