Default CCW clear anodized wheel maintenance?

I have a set of CCW clear anodized wheels that need maintenance, how do I take care of them? I have heard just only mild soap and water to clean. Others have said to put nothing on them because the coating "breathes". My research on Wikipedia states the same principle, but also talks about sealing them - somewhat confusing. Has anyone have any experience with these wheels and how to take care of them? Thanks for your help!

All i know is my black anodized rims are streaked in purple, green, yellow and white after taking them to my local hand car wash. I am now having them stripped and powdercoated.

So at the very least i would stick with water and mild soap...very mild.

Thanks, that is where I got the mild soap and water solution. I was hoping that maybe someone else might have another good idea. I respect CCW's response, hoping for maybe another option! I was thinking maybe silicon spray or something similar but the "breathing" makes me leary. There might not be another alternative, just hoping something appropriate might be out there. Looking for that nettle in the haystack.

PS: I will call John back and maybe get some other imput from him, others have stated a few ideas like: Remex, armorall, and NTX Wax.
