Since I'm kind of known for keeping my car clean, I'll share what I have learned over my journey. Let me preface this by saying I live in a condo with a shared underground garage, just like most apartments. Due to this, I have no hose access, unless I go to the self car wash spots.
My favorite product by far is Chemical Guys EcoSmart waterless wash.
For glass, I love Stoner Invisible Glass.
For wheels, I'm a big fan of Chemical Guys Diablo Gel.
For exhaust tips, Mother's Chrome Polish.
This next one may not be for everyone, but I like it. Stoner Trim Shine.
Those are my highlights. The other products I use are pretty generic.
Mine get tons of carbon buildup as well (2013 R60). I have black tips so it's not obvious, but it's definitely there.
Cleaning tips: Get the following items:
Start by spraying the wheel cleaner in and around the tip. Let it sit for a minute then agitate with the wheel brush. Spray some water in there after agitation to rinse the crud out. Follow it up with a spray of Simple Green. Place the microfiber towel around the wheel brush and agitate again. This'll get the little bits that the stiff brush left behind. Rinse again.
Then attach the powercone to your drill. dunk the powercone into soapy water. Put it inside the tip and spin it. This gets the inside pretty darn clean.
You can clean the outside with the same products. It typically doesn't need it as bad and a simple wipedown with simple green and a microfiber is usually good enough. You can always shine it up with the chrome polish as well, if it needs it.
Not sure how "safe" it is, but when I polished the chrome on my old set I used this stuff and it seemed to do the job pretty well.
