Another vote for the green slime. Smells good too! 
Just make sure you dilute it sufficiently....I seriously doubt it hurts metal in any way, particularly if diluted correctly. A gallon of it goes a loooooong way.
Quesation?

Quesation?
Does anyone use any special products to remove brake dust from the inside of your wheels. I used soap, water and a brush, for fear of damaging the clear coat , not really doing it for me. Thanks

Thanks mike I will check out the WD-40 , as far as simple green goes some one on another thread said it can fatigue the metal so i'm a little cautious about using it on aluminum wheels w/clear coat anyone a long time user w/out any problems?

WD40 fatigues metal???
I'd like to see that one explained...I'll go over there and check out that comment.
First off, teh WD40 would have to permeate through the clear coat on your wheels to fatigue your metal.
When that happens you can write it up as a first.

My friend used simple green on ther RV made of alum. The end result was not SIMPLE. It removed the finish that left it dull. I would not use that stuff at all because you don't know if you are going to open a box of worms or not.

I have a little California Duster that I use in between washings to keep the wheels pretty clean. When I get serious about cleaning them, I use Eagle-1 A2Z Tire & Wheel Cleaner - it's fairly inexpensive and works well:
