Baking Soda is still one of the best cleaners around, but people forget about that with all the modern packaged chemicals that are available. Try a paste of baking soda and a sponge or brush; you will find that any film of dirt will disappear with a quick followup water spray! Also the idea of waxing the wheels is a good one, to prevent the brake dust from bonding to the metal.
