    P21S High Performance Wheel Cleaner About $21-22 from Car Care Smart. They come in the liquid or gel form. Needs agitation to get set in grim off.

    Dupont Teflon Wheel Cleaner works even better but I can't find it locally.

    I don't know what others would use to protect the wheels but I would just use the wax I use on the body. Maybe a synthetic polymer so it lasts a little longer.

    Does this stuff clean off caked on brake dust without scrubbing?

    All depends on how caked on it is. Some agitation may be required if its beyond normal accumulation.
