Yep....get a low profile jack from Harbor Freight...great deal price wise....and remove the wheels.
It's actually quicker than trying to squeeze your hands between the spokes and brake calipers.
And you wheels AND wheel well areas will look great!

Try Wheel Woolies, available from AutoGeek. They're basically oversized wool Q-tips. You'll be able to get between the spokes to clean your barrels. However, I would suggest that if your wheels are REALLY dirty, you might want to remove them, clean them, and get a protective coating on there (e.g. Rejex, etc). They'll be much easier to clean going forward.

I have one of these and it works great:

I did pull the wheels off and cleaned the inside good the first time. Now every month or two when I wash the car I use this and it keeps the insides looking good.

Skinny Long Brush and Grease Cutting Soap. I also use Mequires All Wheel and tire cleaner as it does not stain anything ans seems to help with brake dust removal. My current brush could be better but it works and the whole deal takes about 10 minites a wheel plus drying after I wash the car as I do the wheels first.

Wheel Woolies work well for deep wheels, the Daytona Wheel Brush for behind spokes and is bendable.

I made these barrel cleaning devices by slicing a sponge and gluing it to the end of a large paint stir stick which I get for free at Home Depot. Works great and almost cleans the entire barrel.
