For wheel cleaning (i usually do wheels first):

Spray all 4 wheels generously with:

I do a 1/4 of the car at a time starting with roof, I foam the whole car at first, than work sections applying more foam if needed. Rinsing both my hands in a 2 bucket system as I go around the car.

Once that is done, I rinse the car with water, than add 2 caps of this to the full water bottle and rinse the car:
