+1. Sonax is what I've been using for two years. I asked my detailer a few years ago what they used and the was it. Not sure I'll ever try anything else. I'll spray it on before a touch less wash or I will spray it on and use this wheel tool for my hose. The head brush spins with wash pressure and rinses while scrubbing. Literally takes 10 minutes to clean your wheel and 5 minutes is waiting for the Sonax to turn purple.

The Sonax wheel cleaner full effect is usually reserved for heavy duty task where the wheels are caked in brake dust w/ road grime. Since I ceramic coated all my wheels, I typically use Adam's Eco wheel cleaner which is much milder when compared to Sonax. Also, Adam's Eco wheel cleaner smells like baby powder!
Similar here. I generally just wipe my wheels down with nothing but a dry MF cloth. Just had them ceramiced last week, so I'll be using Sonax sparingly.
