    The wheels are most likely clear coated, I wouldn't be using anything too strong on them, it could damage the clear coat.

    Any ph balanced rim cleaner will work fine. Or you can use Dawn.

    I just had todo this. Dawn will cut it real easy. Put dawn on without any water and take a scrub brush and just scrub the wheel then rinse off.

    A good Micro fiber rag will wipe it right off. No need to spray anything.

    If the rims are coated only use WD40 and Dawn.
