Ok so have a set of CX rims on my car and like them but hate the facvt that I cant seem to keep them clean very long. I have tried using Armor All wheel protectant but it leave this nasty looking film/haze on the black parts of rims. Anybody able to suggest something better?

That's not going to keep them clean longer. Your best bet is to apply a sealant to the wheels so that they will be easier to clean. No cleaner is going to prevent brake dust and road grime from making the wheels dirty.

The best solution (IMO) is preventing the problem in the first place - upgrading to ceramic pads all but completely eliminates excessive brake dust.

Beyond that the best you can do is regular cleanings and keep an application of sealant on the wheels to keep them easy to clean, but even that isn't going to replace the need to physically clean them regularly.
