Strong Cleaner/Degreaser for Wheels

Hello All Could anyone point me in the right direction as far as getting a good cleaner/degreaser to clean my wheels? right now they look pretty bad and need to give them a good cleaning, any info would be greatly appreciate.

as far as damaging the finish im not sure how much more it can be damaged seeing how dirty they already are.

I work at a toyota dealership and sometimes use our wash bay for cleaning my car. We have an acid we use on wheels and other things there that works great i dnt know what the commercial equivalent would be you might have to do a lol research but that makes my wheels look brand new every time i actually used it today

This....^.... is a perfect example why you never want the dealership to wash your car! That harsh acid based cleaner will eventually remove the clear coat from your wheels destroying their appearance. Normal car wash soap/sponge on you wheels should do the job along with a high pressure hose. Anything stronger you could use Dawn dish detergent and never wash them when hot!

What exactly is the problem? Brake dust? Not shiney? They look like they need polishing to me.

Simple Green is a degreaser that works wonders. It's also safe on OEM wheels, just make sure to follow the directions when diluting it.
