An old wash mitt will work good too. If you buy it, buy the one with the trigger, not the pump-it's a pain in the ass. Follow up with some Maguire's tire shine crap, stand back and enjoy. 2000 Contour Se Zetec 2.0L No go mods yet, but a couple of show mods -Pilot HyperWhite Fog lights -Blue courtesy/dome lights -Reverse Indiglo Gagues from www.procarparts.com -Headlight/Climate control knobs, vents, glove box handle, and "Contour" dash badge painted in Silver Frost to match exterior -Ventguards -20% tints -Aiwa CDC-X317 CD player 45 watt per channel piping through stock (ick) speakers -Knauberized. -coming soon: Amplifier/bazooka bass tube (too lazy to put them in), Arctic blue headlights.

Then use a clean wet terry cloth to wipe it clean everytime you wash your car. I do that, and my wheels are shiny all the time (after cleaning them of course) without using any wheel cleaner product.

As always your best bet is to not use anything, but sometime you need something stronger then car wash. -Antonio 99' SVT 86' Toyota Pickup Beater - Tha Daily Driver

To get more of a shine out of them, and to get off road crap, I use Meguire's. I also got a wheel brush that makes the whole procedure a bit quicker. '00 Blk SVT

Make sure the wheels are cool (haven't driven it lately) and the haze won't show up. Then, after they are cleaned, I put a coating of wax or polish on them. You won't believe how easy the brake dust comes off the next few washes. All you will need is some regular car soap.

Gets rid of all the crap with a little bit of elbow grease.
