My employer remiburses me for my personal car that I use for business based on the IRS' per mile reimbursement rate. Can I still itemize non-mileage related expenses? Things like maintence, cleaning, insurance?

If your employer includes your reimbursement as taxable income in Box #1 of your W-2, you can claim all of your vehicle expenses.

If not, and your employer reimburses you at least 54 cents per mile, you cannot deduct vehicle expenses.

Maintenance, cleaning, and insurance are covered in the IRS mileage rate.
