Default My personal favorite is P21S Gel, its expensive but I don't really have to worry about it eating
thru my clear coat on the wheels.

Default I doubt if Audi wheels are that much different
from other premium makes. I'd just stick with a name brand like Sonax or P21S or even Meguiars. And for times when they aren't really that dirty, just use water and a sponge, you don't always need wheel cleaner.

I've been very happy with P21S non-gel for years, before that I was a Sonax fan.
