I use regular car wash soap with a wash mitt. I find that using regular car wash soap with clear coated wheels to be about the best. You can get a multitude of different brushes if you like. I just do it by hand.

For questions about detailing and paint maintenance/repair, search for Junkman2008's comments and videos. If this site's search feature doesn't work well for you, try adding "site:the370z.com" to your search string at any of the major search engines.
