Default Cleaning rims

I have one of the late model FXDF's with the laser etched rims that have "Harley Davidson" in white, on a black rim.
This is becoming the biggest PITA to keep clean, as the brake dust just makes it look terrible.
Any suggestions on anything to use to get the white looking good again without damaging either the rim finish or the white?
I know there are plenty of products out there for cleaning wheels, but don't want to find out the hard way what may mess with either finish.

Regards
Rollcage
