Default Dirty Dirty Wheels

Hi everyone, Im curious as to what method y'all are using to clean your wheels! I bought some Misano m117 20" from LexusGil a while back and they look stunning on the car...when theyre clean. I have tried so many different methods to clean the wheels, such as dawn dish soap, powerwashing, scrubbing, wheel cleaner (the stuff that turns purple), but nothing really gets the wheels perfectly clean! It's been super stormy lately here in AZ so im preparing to do a deep clean of my car, including claybarring it and waxing it, but I want to get every inch clean. including the wheels. Any tips or methods that work really well for you guys?

I use FROTHe by AMMO NYC. I also switched to some aftermarket ceramic pads to cut back the amount of brake dust. The FROTHe works well for a few days but they stay clean if you stay on top of it.

My wheels are black, and me living in dusty arizona with stock pads(very very dusty) doesnt give me much wiggle room. Has anyone tried ceramic coating their wheels to keep dust from sticking?

I have black wheels and live in a construction zone. Ceramic coding could work.
