You pay a premium for it, but P21S Wheel Gel. It is about $15-$17 for 16oz. Spray it on, agitate, let it sit for 30min-2hrs not in direct sunlight, and spray of with high pressure water.
+1 for Sonax
I've used it and p21s and I think sonax wins.
Also, adam's APC is pretty good, not as good as sonax, but worth getting.
Wax the wheels after you clean them up to help make them easier to clean next time.

Most of the professional grade stuff, you'll have to purchase online. The Adam's Polishes All Purpose Cleaner, you can get from the Adam's Polishes website or from one of their independent retailers.
