Wheel cleaner

Hey guys I jhave a new 2010 Camry Se, the wheels have some kind of gluish stick material on the wheel wall on the spoke and near the center cap, how do you get that gunk off without damaging the polish on the wheel? What do you use or recommend for cleaning the polished alum wheel?

Try using a clay bar with some detailing spray and see if that removes the sticky stuff.

It really shouldn't matter, it should work on the wheels too.
