Dont use Wonder Wheels, their too acidic, if you got kurbing or anything like that it will slowly eat away at your wheels.  My suggestion is to go and use Megs, hot rims.  http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/shop/wheels-tyres/meguiars-hot-rims-all-wheel-cleaner/p_104.html

A few squriks, a halfords brush, a bit soap and wrinse off.  Your done

a lot of meguiar's stuff is the dogs it appears, and results prove it.

a good wheel acid is fine for heavily dusted painted wheels, but even i would be conscious of using acid on polished lip rims as i see polished/diamond cut wheels corroding everyday just through normal use.  the best bet is to never let them get too dirty, and just use a strong non acidic/alkali or caustic detergent to keep them tip top every few days...

even a mug full of 50 50 fairy liquid/boiling water applied with a stiff paintbrush will do this job quite well.

cheers, sam.

I use AutoGlym engine cleaner, works a treat
Spray on, then wipe off with a cloth and warm water
Also means you don`t need 2 different bottles for your engine and rims
