Mothers Powerball is the only thing I would use and do use. It gives great results.

Most automotive store that sells detailing stuff has it... I believe even Target and Wal-mart has them as well...

you attach it to a drill and polish away, they also send some polish with the powerball that works very well

I just used the One Grand Metal 300 on mine . Here's a pic of my I-forged and I only do mine by hand.

these are all just polishers correct? it makes the wheels real shiny and clean.
i am also lookin for something to clean the grime/dirt off my lips. something that i can spray on, maybe scrub a little, then just wash off. i used a terry towel w/ some soap water to clean my riims, but there is still some dirt i can not get off w/ just the towel/soap...
can anybody recommend a good product for cleaning hard to get dirt off wheels?

Meguiars has several products to clean polished wheels. But what ever you use becareful. If you use the wrong stuff you will destroy the finish.
