Might try this stuff, I've heard good things about it. I have personally never used it, but when I go to do this in the spring, it's what I'll use.

I use Meguiar's Hot Rims Aluminum Wheel Cleaner (safe on uncoated aluminum and other sensitive materials). I spray the wheels down with this, then spray the entire bike with S-100, and then spray everything off with a hose. If there is built up crud on the wheels hit it a second time with the Meguiar's. Everything turn's out bright and shiny.

I use this about twice a year. Takes elbow grease but you will like the results ;-)

+3. But one of these days I want to clear or powdercoat them so I do not have to polish them

Performance Machine recommended that I use Lemon Pledge on their aluminum wheels.

To clean them or apply after they are cleaned and polished?
