Default whats the best rim cleaner for powder coated rims?

I have a set of cf-48's and they take forever to clean, they are all black and look great after i spend ahalf and hour on each rim!!! but i dont always have that kind of time. I have tried different wheel cleaner and some of them, are terrable. Anyone have any suggestions?

My rims are powder coated black, so a cleaner that i spray on and let it sit then rise of to reveal instant bling would be great lol!!!

thanks in advance.

Simple green or get some beater rims. If you dont want to do either of that then sell them like i did with my white te-37's they were a bitch to clean
