Which wheel do you have, chrome or polished? I have the PVD chrome wheels and I typically wash with a diluted wheel cleaner, Chemical Guys or Adams, spray on the fronts and barrels, scrub the barrels with a wheel brush and rinse off, then scrub the fronts of the wheels with soapy water and wash mitt. Dry wheels and tires with a micro fiber. Then after I am done with all the drying around the truck I will come back with another microfiber and apply detail spray (Griots Best of Show in my arsenal currently) directly to the MF not the wheel itself, I hit each wheel with that, turning the towel over to buff off. I've yet to see any streaking or have any cloudy haze on them.
