Best rim cleaner?

I have the zcp 19 inch silver rims on my car. Hoping someone can rec an awesome rim cleaner that is strong at removing grime and dirt, yet sensitive and not abrasive on the actual rim. Wandering if there is anything at my local auto store.. any recommendations would be great

What he said. I swear by both of these products. I use them on my HREs and they work fantastically.

i have tried about three other wheel cleaners, and sonax is by far the best i've used. same goes for other sonax products, really good stuff.

i get it from autogeek.net. sign up for their newsletter because they have some good promotions sometimes. best i've seen is 25% off and free shipping once or twice a year.

I use Chemical guys Wheel wax as a repellent making them easier to clean. I am currently using Wheel Woolies with Chemical Guys Diablo wheel gel to clean. Pleased with the results.
