Wheel Cleaner for Matte Wheels

I have some linea corse satin black wheels (http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=6484) and i have used some wheel cleaner from the local store and it doesnt do that good of a job. The wheels color is kind of fading or loosing its shine as in they are not being cleaned or something.

Can someone recommend a good wheel cleaner for those wheels

Our cleaner is strong so once you spray it on, don't let it sit for too long, especially if it is a sunny day. I'll use it mainly to break down the heavy dirt/grease that got caked on there in between washes but I still use car wash soap and a separate mitt just I use just for wheels to clean them. With our wheel cleaner I'll spray each wheel one at a time and then rinse it off with the pressure washer

If I am at the shop I have access to the ACE turbo stick which makes cleaning wheels with multiple spokes such as our LC 818s a lot easier.
