A toothbrush and a decent wheel cleaner works perfectly. I use Orange Blast wheel cleaner (made by Greased Lightning). It'* one of the best I've used. The wheels should be cool when using it. It takes time but it'* worth it in the end.

Yes Meguires Hot Rims works really good only wheels with lots of diffrent holes and spaces in them.

Don't the dust shields inhibit the cooling of the brakes? Or is it not that substantial? (I know they have vent holes in them).
They're a good idea, though I like the look of painted calipers and rotors
