Default What do you use to clean your rims?

What cleaners and cleaning materials do you use (spong, brush, etc)

I'm looking for non abrasive chemicals that would clean my wheels nicely by removing mainly the black grime that has settled on the rim. but, it seems that no matter what cleaners and materials i use, i can't get the grime off.

I use Meguires.....they have an all purpose wheel cleaner thats non abrasive that you spray on...let sit for 10 mins and hose off. Works ****! Highly recommended...doesnt eat your wheel up and makes them clean and shiny! It comes in a pink spray bottle!

I used to use water and a wet towel. It worked like a champ.

water, meguires soap, and a new rag...works great for me. and if i feel like it, i'd wax the face/lip of the rim.

is there a specific name for the meguiar's wheel cleaner or is it simply called "all purpose wheel cleaner"? is it a non acid-base forumula? don't want to have my newly redone rims being destroyed so just double checking.
