Cleaning my black wheels.. tips please

Hey guys not sure if this has been posted, did a quick search but couldn't really find anything. Anyways, I was wondering what you guys did to clean your black wheels to shine them up very nicely. I've been looking to spend some time on them to get them looking prestine but I'm not sure about the route to take to get them that way. Any tips or products which are safe for them would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I either use Red Hot de-greaser OR I use this stuff called Mothers 05924 wheel and tire cleaner. Both of them are just spray on and then wash off. The mothers stuff always makes them come out super shiny, but you still have to dry them up a little with a microfiber towel.

Are they gloss or matte? They look matte in your signature. If so, you can't really "shine" them up. You can wash and dry them so they are clean? I suppose you could cover them in tire shine if you wanted some actual shine to them.

Yeah their the matte, and I guess I mean clean them up to were they look like new. Remove all brake dust, dirt, etc. I didn't know if anyone was using specific cleaners for black wheels that worked well for them. Thanks for the input.
