Default Best product/way to clean the forged wheels?

What is the best way to clean and/or polish the forged wheels. Is there something that will help keep the brake dust off also? Thanks.

Default Wash the wheels by hand then apply wax on the wheels. Best thing is to replace brake pads with

better aftermarket brake pads ie. Mintex

Default Mild soap and water followed by....... >>>

a soft cloth and a lite coat of wax or spray detail. DO NOT use any kind of metal polish since the wheels are clear coated.

Default If they get really bad...P21-S

I agree with the comments below, as long as you keep up with keeping them clean. But after a long road trip, or bad weather, or whatever...and they're good and black...P21-S wheel cleaner does a GREAT job.
