Default Wheel Well Cleaning HELP

The bottom of my car and the wheel wells are really dirty. I gave it a car wash, and still appears dirty. There are yellow dusts, rubber marks, and black liquid spots stuck under the wheel wells. What do you guys recommend for cleaning the wheel well? Thank you

a. Soap, water and a brush. A toilet crush sounds stupid, but the curved angle works great
b. Rinse
c. Spray with tire shine. Wait 5 minutes.
d. Wipe with dry cloth.

(if you are a fanatic, remove the wheels)

I have a collection of brushes including brushes similar to those above. A curved brush is great. I prefer a wood handle.
