Default Really good rim cleaner?

So Im in need of a heavy duty rim cleaner to remove all the rust and stuck on brake fluid that leaked out onto my rim afew weeks ago. That stuff is really on there to so Im open to recommendations. Its sad cause less than a month ago I polished up the rims and tires and everything looked good, then the caliper **** the bed the brake fluid burst out onto the rim and tire and wont come off Been looking around on amazon and have afew things in mind but the ratings do all add up... What do you guys use to keep your rims spec?

Also seeing how im doing a brake job soon, Ill be cleaning the entire rim inside and out so I need something that can dissolve any old rust from the inside of the rims.

Simple Green. Then, add a coat off wax after they're clean so next time the brake dust will wipe right off.

For rust removal, try some CLR (Calcium, Lime and Rust).

I've used CLR and Lime-Away on almost every set of wheels I've needed to clean. Both those products work like magic.

I ended up getting a Blue Magic supreme wheel and tire care kit:
Blue Magic 785K Supreme Wheel and Tire Care Kit : Amazon.com : Automotive Blue Magic 785K Supreme Wheel and Tire Care Kit : Amazon.com : Automotive

It came with all the brushes and chemicals all in one bundle so I figured Id give it a try. I also have afew un-used extra strength magic erasers on hand so that should all get the job done. If it does not work Ill try out the CLR. Thanks for the advice guys.
