I use Simple Green and an old tooth brush.
Some guys had luck with the white Mr. Clean Eraser sponges.

I use Eagle Ones Etching Mag Cleaner. It works great on wheels. I also used it on the intake manifold. It's pretty good stuff. Just remember don't let it touch your skin and don't use it on polished aluminum.

i used scrubbies or soaped up SOS or brillo pads to get mine clean, worked very well, got the holes spotless, just took some of the stock gray paint off put that was faded to begin with, i accidentally did the same on the rim surface then later realized it lightly scuffs the clear coat, so i had to finish the job by cleaning and scuffing up the face and re-clearing it

Hmm, for just cleaning the rims I would use a hard bristle plastic brush.
If I were cleaning my wheels ( ), I would use Simple Green or Purple Power and wash it off quickly, as the wheels are clear coated and it can ruin paint.

I stripped off all of the old clear coat and paint that was in the holes and repainted them black. They look alot better than they did in stock form. It took me almost 6 hours to clean and repaint them. But the effort was worth it, I think.

I use Purple Power. Like Ryan says, dont let it sit too long or it will ruin whatever it is on.
