I could only imagine..... When I had my silver rims (with chrome lip), it was hard ehough to keep up. That is one of the reasons why I swithced to Gunmetal. White rims gotta be a pain in the a$$. Wash it at least once a week. Use an extra soft toothbrush every now and then after applying some hot soapy water. Goodluck man.

use some nice pre-wax cleaner, polish, and wax. it won't keep the brake dust off, but itll sure make it easier to get it off! I have waxed my wheels twice and it makes them shine so much more and brake dust slides off with a hose instead of having to scrub...

I can put car wax on the rims also?! (w/o damaging the rims color?)

My brake pads are carbon ceramic. Since I've had those as opposed to regular ones, I have noticed a signifigant decrease in the amount of brake dust. Also, someone once told me to use Simple Green on my rims to clean them. That stuff works really well if you're just looking for a quick cleaning. I just spray it on and leave it there for a few and then everything that has not run off already, I just wipe off. I still polish my rims too every couple of weeks. That takes way too long to do if I just want to clean them up quickly.

like highlander said if you wax the wheels you literally only have to wipe a rag over them hot or cold wet or dry and it just comes right off...

no wax won't damage your wheels... call the manufacturer to be sure... but it should be fine..

you can also use wax on your windows.... works like rainx only a little better if you ask me (bigger beads so you don't get blinded by the trillions of beading streaks of water). Oh and I use wax on just about all my rubber/plastic trim.
