Perfectlap is the detail king here, so do heed his advice!
The only thing I'd toss into his comments are that there is nothing wrong with using a reputable brand of car wash soap (not dishwashing liquid) and water and some elbow grease. I never use wheel cleaner on my wheels, but just use a microfiber mitt and very soapy water.
BTW, applying some wheel wax to your rims after removal and a thorough cleaning will really help to keep them clean. If the surface is slick, the brake dust cannot adhere to it as easily.
