Soap and water, carwash with wax. Then just wax then every time you wax the car.

p21s is completely paint safe but a little pricey for regular use.

I'm using an OTC wheel cleaner sold by Armor All at Autozone. With a Meguair's Gold Class wheel face brush it makes quick work of anything regular car wash soap doesn't get out.
