Default What do you use to clean your rims?

What are you guys using to clean your stock rims? I have GSR's, and they look dull during the day but really shiney at night. What do you guys use to get them shiney?

so what kind of regular car wash SOUP is this? the one that comes in a can?

i second everyone else on the car soap .

anyhow, not matter how much you scrub, clean, wipe your wheel, it will be dirty after one normal session of driving due to brake dust.

cheers
