Default Quick detailer for aluminum wheels

I'm looking for recommended cleaners for aluminum wheels. The new pads I'm running are pretty dusty and I'm hoping there is a product which I can spray on a dry wheel which will clean them up nice in between normal car washing with minimal wiping/hosing, etc.

It's very inconvenient for me to get the car to a car wash area until the weekend, so I'm looking for something like a 'quick detailer' for aluminum wheels which will remove anything which might be corrosive to the wheels.

Thanks!

I have found some stuff called white diamond. Wow you can get it at advanced and it goes on quick and comes off easily too it says its a sealant so Polish them up with that and I bet you four just wipe them down. This stuff works great too

i use sonax on my polished y2k's and it works awesome. it put p21s to shame. its a little pricey but i only use it undilluted on baked on dust and inner barrels. 3 to 1 works fine for maintaining wheels. i just spray it on a cool dry wheel and wait for it to turn from lime green to dark red then quickly aggitate and rinse. it does smell pretty bad tho.

White Diamond can be bought @ Advance Auto for $15 and as stated it has a sealer in it. Some may laugh but Stoner's Invisible Glass in the aerosol can is a great aluminum wheel detailer. Also, don't forget the obvious Meguire's Ultimate Quick-Detailer; it works great on wheels too.
