Default Wheel cleaning

What product do you find cleans off brake dust best. Do any damage the factory stock wheels finish?

I have a set of polished "A" molds on my '94. They were clearly about shot. Wouldn't polish, just looked awful, like they had begun to corrode. In desperation, I used straight Simple Green on them. Figured what the heck, I was going to have to replace them anyhow. WOW! In mere minutes, they were like new. Just put some on a brush and scrubbed them for a minute, clean as new. And I had tried several different cleaners on them for a year with no success. I had avoided that stuff previously, after all how good could it be? It's "green". The answer is, there ain't nothing better.
