When I had mine I just used soap and water. Never had a problem with that.

i prefer to take thm off one at a time and use a wheel brush and some Castrol Super Clean.... get them nice and squeaky clean... then just maintain them with soap and water

while you have your wheels off you can also install some ceramic brake pads and cut down on the dust

The clear coat is comming off mine and the dust is hard to get off. I just use a multpurpose cleaner like simple green or a dollar store brand cleaner called awesome...seems to work good

Mr. Clean eraser, its the best thing that i have ever used on my rims. It will take any dirt or smudge off your rims.

Some saliva and a soft white rag works for me. lol

No, but I just use this little tubular brush I got from the parts shop. I have the turbine wheels...so I can feel your pain.
