I normally use p21s non-acidic wheel cleaner for easy cleaning. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
If I have really dirty wheels I use bilt hamber surfed HD, mixed 20-30% in water, let that sit for a while too.
If I'm cleaning for storage or before waxing I also use bilt hamber korrosol, after cleaning as a last step, or you can use iron-X which is pretty much the same to get out carbon contaminants first.

For gloss and protection I use swissvax autobahn wheel wax.

Do not use acidic wheel cleaner this will ruin your wheels.
If you use p21s or similar, get a wheel brush and use that.
the high quality wheel brushes are almost like a paint brush.
