haha, thats it.

If you're referring to the Wheel Cleaner, you should try to use regular car soap on your wheels in place of the wheel cleaner if possible. The wheel cleaners are much stronger, so car soap is much friendlier to the wheel surface.
If you apply a wax or sealant to your wheels, they will be much easier to clean. You won't need any more than car soap to wash them...the brake dust will just wipe right off the smooth wheel surface.

never thought about waxing the rims, although someone posted about doing that here a while back. Any specific wax, or just the usual thats used on the car?

[Mr Detailer]

Since the clearcoat is the same on your wheels and paint, you can use any waxes or sealants that you would use on your car. They will serve the same purpose on your wheels. The thing you have to remember though, is that there are high temperatures near your wheels created by your brakes when they convert the car's kinetic energy to heat upon braking. You need to use a polymer sealant that can handle the high temperatures. Most waxes will melt at 130*F.
Many people use Klasse Sealant Glaze on their wheels, because it has proven to be so durable. Personally, I use FourStar Ultimate Paint Protection, or Wolfgang High-Gloss Sealant. AFAIK, all three are only available online.
