This is another good brand to consider, Sonax, whom more people are probably aware of - https://www.esotericcarcare.com/sona...-cleaner-plus/
I also use this wheel brush - https://www.esotericcarcare.com/esoteric-wheel-brush/
First, don't ever wash the wheels after driving, the wheels and rotors have to be cool enough to touch with your hand. Rinse them, spray on the wheel cleaner and let sit for 2 minutes (DO NOT LET IT DRY). Once the 2 minutes are passed, agitate with the wheel brush and rinse off the wheel once done, it should be spotless (certainly with a pressure washer).
Sorry but that's bad advice. As a wheel manufacturer for 40 years I would highly advise against the use of Acidic wheel cleaners as they etch into the powdercoat, they can leave stains, or even worse...
IT SHOULD SCARE YOU. When I was working for EAS way back in the day, I had someone want to use an acidic wheel cleaner. This is what happened - https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=406357
Using Acidic wheel cleaners isn't the answer, that's pure nonsense and terrible advice that is only going to lead to more frustration.

Spoken from a wheel maker themselves. You can't get any better advice than that.
