Cool what do you use.
I washed my car today, but it always takes me so long to clean my car, so i Was just wondering what everyone uses to just wash their car and their rims to remove break dust.

Just a little survey type thing.. thanks

I use Meguiar's hot rims/cool wheels and a soft OXO brush for wheel cleaning. Does a great job, is not too harsh and readily available at just about any auto parts store. Also using Meguiar's NXT car wash, for same reasons.

You can use "Wheel wax" or "Zaino" the wheels. Easier to clean if they are polished. However if you want to get to bottom of brake dust problem then change the pads to Axis deluxe.

I have used Meguiars NXT and its good if you don't want to break your wrist with Zaino.
