p21s wheel cleaner gel works good. either take the wheels off and clean em or grab one of those wheel brushes like the Ace powerstick and you can clean them while mounted. wax/seal them after because the cleaner will likely take any protection off.

the p21s wheel cleaner will work well on both types of wheels.

Spray the p21s wheel gel on the wheels the night before you wash it (make sure wheels/brakes are cool first).

Then in the morning when you wash it, rinse them off with a power washer if you have one. makes cleaning your wheels so much easier, and it wont harm them.
