Firstly, what have you tried using to clean your rim?

There is some products special for cleaning rims that can effectively remove brake dust.

I used turtle rim cleaner for sometimes. Now i'm using meguiars wheel brightener (detailing series, very strong cleaner). both clean my rims well only left some road tar on it.

After you clean your rims, you can always top up wit a layer of wax (for OEM painted rims) to improve protections and ease to clean next time.

Some pics please.....

There are specific method to tackle specific circumstances. Firstly, need to know the type of finish is on your rims.

Try cleaning them with a strong car shampoo wash first. If that doesn't remove all then you'll need a dedicated wheel cleaner. If it's still there then you'll need an industrial strength cleaner (that's safe for whatever finish on your wheel). If that also doesn't work, chances are, the dust is stuck and you'll need to clay it off.

Waxing/sealing your wheel would be a good idea. It won't really prevent brake dust sticking to the wheels but it would surely make cleaning them a lot easier.

Regards.

I bought it at Sunway Mentari, at the Sonax distributor at the row of shoplots after the Shell station.
This shop also performs car detailing-wash, polish, waxing etc, so I believe it is quite easy to locate.
