i wash and rub with a microfiber towel...and by wash, i mean rinse...sometimes i use polish, but i mostly just use wax...but as a side note, its by no means a dd...ive had no problems with this and it always looks killer...but if your aluminum wheels have been abused are "stained" with break dust idk what to tell you....ive seen aluminum wheels that were stained with break dust but have never cleaned a pair up

i keep mine in really good shape...i was talking more specifically for the inside of the rim (the side that faces the wheel well) there is brake dust on there that cant be reached when the wheels are on the car.

i'm not sure what you're referring to. if you're referring to the very inside walls of the wheel that are not polished aluminum like the face of the wheel, (the area behind the spokes), i'd say a Brillo pad. those are by far the best to use for that application. for the spokes themselves, use wheel cleaner. but definitely DON'T use a Brillo pad on the polished part. here's picture of my wheel with the use of a Brillo pad on the inside...
