Welcome to CBRF. I clean everything with spray cleaner / polish like honda spray. You can also use USED dryer sheet. Probably need to us multiple sheets one time

Though your wheel would smell better if you used a fresh dryer sheet.

Welcome!

Most degreasers will work great, as well as soapy water or WD-40.

hahahaha, it might but it will not clean your rim. You have to use USED dryer sheets. How about spraying the micro fiber towel with my perfume and finish her up?
