Cleaned off the layer of brake dust on my wheels.

I thought my wheels had a shitty spray paint coating on it. Turns out, was just a ton of brake dust!

I find that also waxing the wheels keeps them clean for much longer.

Thanks for the tip. I just used some armor all wheel cleaner, shop towels, and a soft wheel brush.

If you do go to a wheel wax I used RimJob and it worked really well. A pain on complex wheel designs but makes washing dust off a breeze.

Any sort of wax or sealant will work. I recommend for a 1st coat to remove each wheel for a proper cleaning and wax all paintwork; Front, spokes, rear and barrel. This greatly reduce build-up and clean-up. If you want less dust period changing pad compound would be best.

Also wax you car.

Yeah, I tend to use either Wolfgang 3.0 sealant, or even one of the ceramic coating sealants on brand new wheels, even before they get the first set of tires mounted on them (did this on my gloss black 1.2s).

Then I just 'maintain' them with a coat of Collinite 845 every time I wax the car after that.
