I see what your saying but if maintained properly and regularly all you really need is a good car soap shampoo, bucket of water and a microfiber towel. I think I know a thing or two about car care as I own my own detailing business on the side. Another step to take even further would be to clay your wheels atleast 2-3 times a year and seal them with a good wax or glaze. Remember, Sonax is good for short term and regular maintenance, but actually taking a step further with claying your wheels will remove contaminants that sonax will never be able to remove.

For me, when my wheels are really dirty, I use Sonax. For a routine clean, I just use car soap (Meguirars or Optimum Car Wash)
Just my 2 cents.
