Following up on this...

I've had pretty good luck with the P21S wheel cleaner product in the past, but I'm currently out and am always open to trying new products. You use the 'regular' version of the Griot's or the 'heavy duty' stuff?

Heavy Duty. It works great!
I tried P21 and Sonax and they small awful and didn't seem to work any better than the Griot's

That's funny.
I'll believe your recommendation, but after posting my question here I went to Amazon and did some reading on the Griot's. One of the common criticisms cited by the One-Star group was that not only did it not work that great, but that the Heavy Duty version smelled awful.

I've about decided reading those ratings is pretty much a waste of time—the One-Stars and the Five-Stars say the exact opposite about a product, so who does one believe??

LOL

All I know is the Griots Heavy Duty, smells good. Often a lot of reviews are not for the correct product, but a similar product

Another tip.......
After you get them clean, apply Rejex. it is a polymer coating that makes it easy to keep clean
