I personally try avoid wheel cleaners because they're straight up toxic, the smell gives that away too. If you wash and wax them, cleaning them without wheel cleaner won't be a problem if you do it often enough.
Two buckets, microfibre wash mitt, buy a wash and wax product if you're wanting minimal effort involved, dry with microfibre towels, not chamois leathers or those awful plastic blade things. Buy something like autoglym aqua wax if you're wanting to wax the car with minimal effort, it's a liquid spray wax that you essentially use to dry the car with.
