I'll tackle some factory painted wheels (girlfriend, friends, particular family members) but nothing I get overly anal-retentive about.

What would you recommend in this scenario?

Mike,

Honestly the Griot's will work on all those situations. If you have a BMW/Audi/Benz that needs special attention, get some of the Sonax - but it's not necessary on "normal dust" cars. I use the Sonax on the wife's 5 series as that car is a dust factory... For my cars and anything "normal", I use regular wheel cleaner - I am still working on a few other brand bottles of cleaner at this point.

I'm going to make a suggestion that you may want to try out on your chrome wheels: clean your wheels thoroughly first, then polish them with Meguiar's Hot Rims chrome polish, then put a coat of wax or sealant on them (reg or wheel specific) - it keeps the wheels clean much longer and they shine like new (or even better than new). My LaCrosse has factory chrome wheels and this is what I do and they come out better than awesome. $7 a bottle at Pep Boys or Autozone...
