I, too, will cast a positive vote for Simple Green. I've been using it for over 4 years on my 540 (2 piece riveted & clear coated) and 1.5 years on my M5. I generally buy the refill "concentrate" and dilute it 50% with water. No paint problems at all. It cuts through grease and grime nicely, takes a little more effort to remove tar spots, and definitely does NOT eliminate the need to apply elbow grease. I clean my wheels with a 3" natural bristle varnish brush (the only fast way to clean a gazillion rivets!). Simple Green also rinses off quickly and easily.
