I use "THE DUKE." You can buy it at Home Depot for 6 bucks. It comes in a white 1 litre bottle with orange writing and can be found in the floor cleaning isle. This is the stuff detailing shops use, the only downer to it is you can not use it on polished aluminum....but on any other type of mag it works awesome. You use 1 part duke to 4 parts water........

i really liked the meguires "hot wheels" on my old OZ wheels... it came in a red see thru spray bottle .. but it was kinda pricey

good thing about chrome is that u dont need any cleaners ..

just wash them with car wash stuff and dry them off with paper towel .. they shine like a ****

Another vote for Meguiar's Hot Rims cleaner. I think it is supposed to be pretty acidic, but the bottle says it is safe for any type of wheel.

For chrome wheels I'd use chrome polish of course and for clear-coated mags I use the claybar then wash with Zaino Z-7 car-wash, but of course. Meguire's is a very good product too but Zaino rocks. If you have a hard to get area you're in trouble. My five spoke firehawk rims are easy to clean. I can reach my hand in to clean the inside of the mag no problem.
