Try steam cleaners once youve got one you only need to fill em up wiv water. No more stinging finger's wiv cuts in!
A lot the alloy cleaners are basically a mild acid and "can" cause problems with the wheel coating if used on a regular basis. Best is to use the wheel cleaner to get the worst off once only, then just wash / maintain with car shampoo, wheel brush, and a coat of wax to help protect the wheel finish.
Mr Muscle Orange degreaser also works. As probably would most kitchen cleaners like the Fairy Powerspray Fred recommends.
As for Cillit bang I would be wary.....
I bet the kitchen cleaners are probably easier to get and cheaper than perhaps same substances labelled by Autoglym etc.
Muck Off for bikes is now also used for wheel cleaning.
And the washing up brushes you get with the refillable handle and sponge with non scratch pad on are ideal for using wonder wheels and for those really stubborn stained wheels.

Ultimatly the best way is to 'get them clean' and then use a wax on them. This will then enable you to wash them weekly in car wash soap and water without having to use harsh chemicals on them every week. Paint sealants are better than natural waxes as the wheels can get hot which of course would melt a natural wax.
I've used wonderwheels but more recently use pro range products from meguiars and autoglym which work out extremly cheap and very effective. Saying that for realy bad stains you can't beat neat wonderwheels!

Take the wheels off as it will be easier to work on, buy some megs clay from halfords and clay the wheels. Alternativly you could try 'soaking' them in a safer product such as megs wheel brightener. When I say soak I mean spray it on and leave it and then replesnish the spray every 5-10 mins!!!
You could aslo try autoglym intensive tar remover.
