Default White Wheel Cleaning!

So I have some White Work XD9's on the way. I have a hard enough time keeping my OEM wheels clean. Mainly the inside of the wheel, past the spokes. All kinds of brake dust/rust gets on there inbetween washes.

Is there anything that will clean white wheels very good yet not be harsh! I fear I will be taking the wheels off at almost every wash to get the inside. I'm thinking a nice wax may help a bit, and to get some coned shape or long handled brushes. Will anything like this be to harsh?

Anyone reccomend a nice wheel cleaner that will loosin up stuff so I do not have to remove the wheels.

These are the wheels!

o.k., back to the real world- check out the thread and post back questions-

the process is really just clean them good (p21s wheel cleaner is a great product), protect them (synthetics topped by wax is my fav), and keep them clean with detail sprays and dedicated duster

Thanks, yeah I usally do that every once in a while. Yet my main focus will be keeping the inner part of the wheel clean. Does the wax really help out enough to keep stuff coming off easy?

I guess a good brush will be the best thing to do while washing. Something that gets in there!
