I just use a separate bucket with the same type of shampoo I use for the car.
I found that if you put a coat of wax on your wheels to help with brake dust, P21S will take the wax right off. My wheels now seem to stay cleaner longer because the wax is there to keep the brake dust from adhering to the surface. The jury is not out on the Zoop Seal for the polished lips.
Hopefully LI-S4 or myself will get to it soon.

Zoop Seal huh?
What is this stuff...yeah- I figured best way to clean the brakes was to use seperate wash mit...but then, how do you get way in there to the small area where a wheel cleaner will get to? 
Thanks for the feedback!

i've used p21s for 2+ years on my hre's, no problems ... for metal polish
i'd recommend mother's billet aluminum polish and some dedicated microfiber towels -- you should be able to get the lips mirror-perfect.
