Cleaning wheels

Another thing to consider is using an all in one cleaner like Klasse AIO on your wheels. It has chemical cleaners that can help remove some of the grime. Waxes have solvents in them as well and you can use that to clean your wheels. I'd definitely recommend microfiber towels. I'm relatively local to you so let me know if you need towels/products. PM or email me at robin@attn-to-details.com

The first question that we need an answer to...are the rims clear coated?
If they are you definitely do not want to wipe the rims with a dry cloth. Brake dust is like a very fine rubbing compound and will only damage the coating.
I personally use a hose and a lot of soapy water and a dedicated sponge that I only use on the rims.
I have also used a product called "REJEX" its a polymer wax that does not attract as much dust as some waxes and it seams to help when cleaning.

Poorboy's World also makes a product called Spray and Wipe that basically like a waterless wash. You can use it on wheels and I don't recommend it on painted surfaces unless its already very clean.

PM DUCATIGUY and grab some of his DucsMILK! The stuff works great on factory or aftermarket wheels!! It contains break dust cleaner and a polish! Great stuff for your application. I would just do it every couple of days so you don't do it when the wheels are reallllllly bad!
