Spray it on and let it sit for a few minutes then scrub with a brass brush or red scotchbrite pad. It is acidic so latex gloves are a plus.

O'Reilly's and Advance Auto carries it in my neck of the woods for about $7 a spray bottle.

Funny thing is I've never tried it on a set of wheels.

How does it react with painted parts like engine blocks? I'd like to try this on my intake.
