I have some dust in the little cracks but some are too small to reach a finger in there so what products do you use to get these wheels looking like new?
 
For car shows we use cue-tips and mist-n-wipe. It's very time consuming, takes about 30 minutes a wheel to get them pretty good but it makes a huge difference. Another option is P21S Wheel Cleaner, the gel version. This is the best wheel cleaner out there that I have used so far. I'd suggest putting some mist-n-wipe or wax as your dry after washing them everytime too this will build up a barrier that the brake dust will come off of easier.
 
I would think maybe the power cone might work pretty good. I used to have a thin kind-of brush made from the same material as a wash mitt. It got into most of the areas but those wheels were always a major PITA!
 
Heres how I do the ones on both my TTA and my GTA. About once a year I remove them from the car, and scrub them inside and out using the same product I normally use on my tires when I wash the car. I use a wash mit on all the possible surfaces and then I use a small brush kit ( I got these at the local Petsmart. They are a small kit of 3 aquarium brushes and amazingly enough the 2 smaller brushes fit the smaller 2 sets of holes perfectly. Use these gently as the metal center shaft of the brush will scratch the wheel if your not careful. ) After I wash, rinse and dry the wheels I follow with a quick detailer. The quick detailer will also help keep that nasty brake dust from adhering to those wheels and make em easier to wash & clean on a week to week basis.
