This. If you use simple green don't let it sit too long. I just used it on my moms exploder and it left a slightly green stain (nothing terribly noticeable) where it sat on the lip. Still looks better than the brake dust that was caked on there.

Yup.
What I do is spray the wheel with water and then the simple green. Let it sit for 20 seconds or so and then spray with water then wipe with cloth

I like to use Sonax full effect. It's a PH safe wheel cleaner for all types of coating. Here's an example of how the product works. Spray it on w/o wetting the wheel. Then let it sit for one min and use something to agitate it. Afterwards spray and rinse it off and your good to go.

Use your hands and stop being lazy... A simple damp microfiber cloth will take care of your wheels.

Eagle's detailing products are meh. Though it shouldn't be too difficult to remove brake dust from an OEM rim, unless it has sat there awhile and got baked in.
