How To Clean Gunmetal Rims?

I just picked up a set of SS/SC Gunmetal wheels and I was wondering how to go about cleaning them. They're being put on today. I was thinking dish soap and water to be on the safe side, but has anyone tried other products?

I would stick with dish soap or car wash soap. Wheel cleaners are too risky for painted wheels. I use car wash soap and a soft brush and mine still look mint. I used turtle wax ice polish on mine and the brake dust washes off with very light scrubbing.

Simple Green and a 1/2 of a dogbone sponge works great for me.
