I ceramic coated both my sets of wheels, the stock pvd, and my black Hostile's...cleaning them is as simple as spraying them with a garden hose, no rag or chemicals needed.

I have the chrome PVD wheels. I use Bleach White on the white letter tires and just a regular all-wheel cleaner on the wheels. I think Meguiars Hot Rims All-Wheel Cleaner is one of the better ones but most of them work fine. If you have the PVD wheels, make sure you use an All-Wheel cleaner, because they aren't real chrome.

Worth checking if your wheel clean is safe for PVD finishes, i'm assuming that's what you mean by chrome wheels?

Wash with the car shampoo you use on the rest of the vehicle, and use the wheel cleaner after that.

I use Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel - it can be found on Amazon and/or Clean garage.com - it's a bleeding type of cleaner, so you see the metals turn purple and run down the wheel when it's ready to be rinsed and/or agitated. You use it watered down 50/50 for normal washes and if you need a deep clean or the wheel got particularly bad, use it neat. Wheel cleaner at least every other wash will always look better than just car shampoo due to the dirt type that gets on wheels.
