Are you an engineer? (I'm a CS guy myself)

WD40. Say what you want but it works and is not harmful to finish

Default Eimann Fabrik Hi Intensity Cleaner...I love it!

<center><img src="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=781637&a=13475236&p=52880547"></center><p>Have used it for a couple years. I buy it in gallons and it's cheap. WAY cheaper than P21S. Doesn't hurt wheels, no residue. Makes cleaning a piece of cake. Use a foam ended bottle brush and you will easily get all the brake dust in the hub and inside of wheel. I spend two minutes a wheel and it looks like new every time.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autopia-carcare.com">Check out the detailing forum! The best on the net!</a></li></ul>

I have some great stuff at home: I'll check it out and respond later. I always wax them heavily (Mother's), then next time they get filthy I just spray this stuff, 'agitate' it a bit with a hard sponge-like brush, and 1 minute later rinse off. At this point it's already 99.9% as clean as the day I picked it up, and after a quick wiping with a rag it's OMFG clean!

The other day I did this successfully after almost 2 months of no washing, and riding down a dusty dirt road leaving an air show for almost a mile. Needless to say, my rims were actually DARKER than my tires. Still only took two mins to clean :-)
