Don't get anything acidic. P21S gets a great review around here but I haven't tried it. Usually I just use a different wash mitt and car soap but it doesn't get it 100%.

I use the P21S Wheel Gel and have been very happy with it. I also use Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant and it is amazing. Brake dust rinses away with water.

If the wheels aren't too dirty, I sometimes just use soap/water. Then follow up with some QD on a MF cloth. PB Wheel Sealant is fantastic - apply a couple of coats of it every couple of months for best results.

p21s wheel gel is the best we have over here. i only use it for terribly dirty rims because it is so expensive.
i'd just slap a good sealant on. Then, most of the dust rinses off and you can use your car soap to easily degrease the rest |

Not sure, but unlikely. Order from George at DetailedImage or Phil at DetailersDomain.

QD = quick detailer (aka, liquid polish, nanowax, etc).
But nevermind, I didn't realize "ICE" was an entire line of products. I was thinking it was just quick detailer, like this stuff:
