hmm pics? i am thinking you should avoid any type of "scrubbing" on your rims. i think i had some sort of green stuff made especialy for break dust. works like a charm. be careful when selecting cleaning agents though!! ive seen many many polished lips destroyed by chemicals that are way too strong.

When I wash my car I always first spray my wheels and tires with simple green, then wait a minute or two then agitate with a wheel brush, then spray it off. Works really well on brake dust, you might want to give it a try.

No, I'm sure he'd be able to tell the difference between a curbed rim and brake dust.

I have the same thing too in the corner of my rims. Usually some clear magic and a cloth will take it off. Let it sit for a minute or two.

try some cleaner wax from Meguiars. don't use it too often though as it's
an abrasive wax.
