Try using Blue Magic metal polish. Its a blue cream that comes in a blue plastic jar. I use it on the fuel tanks and wheels on my Kenworth big rig and it works great. Its got silicone sealer in it that locks out brake dust and dirt from sticking to the finish. I wash the truck once a week and hit the polished aluminum with dawn dish soap and a terry cloth rag then rinse and they look good as new. And I only have to touch them up with the polish every 6 months or so. Hope this helps.

thanks for all the responses!! I know that the thermoquiet pad will solve the brake dust problem-my problem right now is lack of $$ My wedding is in seven weeks from this Sat
and I have no cash for the pads
plus my truck doesnt need brakes yet Would chrome wheels be easier to keep clean? I seemed like when I had my factory chrome 17" steel wheels they were easier to keep clean.

Question...
I have searched , but found no answer.
I am thinking of ordering a set of bare polished aluminum wheels like the DC1s or MTCII and having my painter shoot several coats of clear on them.
Wonder if this would work or is there some reason that these manufacturers dont do this already? price cant be affected by more that $30 per wheel.
