Use any of the major brand wheel cleaners and a wheel cleaner brush. Spray wheel cleaner onto a cool dry wheel. Wait a few minutes, scrub with brush and hose off. It's funny how in the owners manual under car care & cleaning Porsche makes a point of saying that the wheel finish can be damaged if you don't use a cleaner with the correct PH, but they neglect to say what the correct PH is? I guess they want to keep you in the dark so you have to go to the dealer and buy there special cleaner with the secret correct PH.

I've used several of the major brands and no problem with my wheels special finish. I guess they all have the correct PH.
