I've done 4,400 miles in only 3 months. Not bad, I think.

My car is now 13 months old and has been driven 5,800 kms (3596mi). Keep in mind I live in the great white north and the car is in storage six months of the year.

I am not in the running for miles, with 10k in 2 years, but I bet I am for brake pad and tire use. I put the 5th set of pads on the rear last weekend and half way through the fourth set of tires (3 sets of P0's now on the MPSS).

Mondrain, surprisingly very little wheel cleaner. I wax the wheels, which makes them very easy to clean. I wash the outside surfaces every time I wash the car, and wax them whenever I wax the car. I wax the inside of the wheels whenever I have them off, which allows me to clean them with a damp cloth.
However, I have gone through quite a bit of gas. I think the record is 3 tanks on the track in one day, plus a 4th tank getting too and from the track. I get 50-60 minutes per tank typically. By contrast, I burn almost no oil.

It is very exotic stuff! 
It is called Wheel Wax, and comes in a black tub. I get mine from Amazon, but have no affiliation with the product or the vendor. It won't stop the wheels from getting dirty, but makes them much easier to clean. If you do use wheel cleaner, you definitely have to re-wax the wheels. For example, I sometimes need to use a bit of cleaner to get dirt out of a corner, then I just re-wax the small portion of the week.
I have given up trying to keep the barrels pristine, but they clean up quite well with just a damp towel.
Armor All is supposed to have a very good product, but heard it leaves a dull finish, and you are supposed to let it dry for an hour. I have a bottle and will try it when I run out of the wax, but I have been really happy with the results.

34,443 miles, including one track event in 24 months in my 2012 991c2s. I replaced all 4 tires at around 24k miles and still on the original brake pads and rotors.

I think that is worthy of a honorary 40,000 mile badge.
