My trick is to clean the wheels when they're off the car... spray some un-diluted simple green on 'em, and wipe 'em with an old rag (that will need to be tossed out when you're done). Then I used my water sprayer thing to rinse 'em off. Finally I spray a coat of that "wax as you dry" stuff on the wheel and dry 'em with a clean towel.

I can do all 4 rims in under 30 minutes, getting them pretty damn clean with a fresh layer of wax on 'em. And with white race rims, I really need to do it after every event.
