1. Griots Chrome Wheel Cleaner (with a Daytona Wheel Brush)
2. Chrome Polish (when needed)
3. Wheel Sealant or Rejex for protection
always clean wheels when cool and use products specifically designed for your wheel type.

A mild all purpose cleaner that is excellent for tires AND wheels is 3D's Orange Citrus Cleaner:

It's $6.99 for a 24 ounce bottle, comes with a sprayer a can be diluted up to 10 to 1. Also great for wheel wells. You don't need an expensive cleaner for this chore. Keep it simple......
And then clean/seal with HD SPEED: http://www.3dproducts.com/HD-Speed.html
It's an All in One product that can clean, shine and protect not just your wheels, but your paint and glass too.

Whatever cleaner and protectant you decide to use, you'll need at least 3 good brushers.
A smaller rounded soft one to get around the lugs, a Boars Hair for the chrome, and a good stiff one that will reach in between and get the barrels.
Some like the Daytona Wheel Brush to get in to the barrels. I don't care for it. It is a little too flexible and has caused me more than a few bruised knuckles. The Geek and other forum vendors sell a 16" Wheel Brush for about 10 bucks that is perfect for getting back in there. It is good and rigid so youu can really get things clean. I use mine on several of the cars in the household including the chrome wheels on my C6 and the painted wheels on my Honda Pilot daily driver. For 10 bucks it works great.
