I'd go meguires too....most of their products are pretty good.
if your rims are more than dirty you'll have to use some elbow grease and it always helps to wash the tires & rims jsut before application

No Touch works amazingly for tire shine, I will never buy anything else........

Wheel cleaner it's a toss up, you really can't go wrong with Meguiar's or Black Magic but I think Windex works just as great as all of them IMHO.

I use black magic, I don't think windex really works all that well at getting road dirt and brake dust off the wheels. I usually take a toothbrush between my spokes once a month to get them extra clean.

What kind of rims do you have? Stock ones? I have chrome rims. For mine I wipe them down with some paint thinner (be sure to wipe it off right away) this removes any surface dust or grime after that clean it with the wheel cleaner of your choice. It makes them look brand new after you do it.
