2005 X3 rim cleaning
Bought the car last year....I have stains from years of brake dust on my rims. I've tried EVERYTHING....brushes, cleaners, etc. I can get the surface dust off, but not the "caked on" areas....What's the secret?

Since I got my X3 (end of Sep) I have been using the kit below to clean my wheels. I bought the wheel brush, seen on top of the fuel tank for the jet wash online. I use the jestwash after manual brushing with hot water and suds.
I can actually get right to the back of the wheels with the brush through the spokes then the jet wash to remove remaining grime. |

In the past, I've waxed my wheels to help wash away the brake dust easily. Of course this is on a FX35 and not a BMW. Will waxing the wheels of the X3 help to minimize the brake dust? How about some sort of sealer? I've never had a BMW or any German made car that are notorious for brake dust. What about changing types of brake pad material?
