Well, Dawn kills grease, but no detergents are really good for your expensive clear-coated alloy wheels. They tend to strip the wax off, for one thing. I recommend a good car cleaner instead of a dish detergent - if you are having problems with the wheels, mix up a stronger than normal solution and keep it in a squirt bottle. Most car wash solutions have wax that helps keep things shiney and protected - be sure to shake it vigorously before _measuring_ it into your bucket. In other words, don't guess at the amount.
Treat your wheels just like the paint on the body. Keep them well waxed! Clean them often. Use a very gentle brush and a clean 100% cotton rag.
BTW, sudden greasy blotches may mean a leaking grease seal or brake caliper. If it keeps up, be sure to look for the source.
