Soap and water, especially if you have them ceramic coated. You absolutely do NOT need anything else. An Iron remover is nice before you ceramic coat them but otherwise you do NOT need wheel cleaner.

Highly recommend wheel woolies to get the inner barrels. Boars hair detailing brush for the outer.

Actually I also have one of these that I really like. A bit thinner than the wheel woolies to get the space behind the caliper. I haven't washed the Lexus myself yet to see how tight it is back there, but I like this tool regardless:

I use Chemical Guys Incite... by far the best wheel cleaner I've used. You can see the dirt/dust melt off without scrubbing or rinsing at this point. I've used it for years, no issues other than once the spray can lost aerosol quickly, leaving it useless with product left in the can.

+2 for the microfiber mitt! Car is washed weekly, no brake dust, just road grime.
