Default mag wheel cleaning ?

This may appear to be a dumb question about spray cleaning the mag rims on a 2013 RoadKing, the rims look like they may have a clearcoat over the aluminum, is this correct? I've read that some spray cleaners have a slight acid in their chemical make-up and that they shouldn't be used on anything that isn't clearcoated and just do not know which product would be best to use to clean my mags?
