Hello all

Good old soapy water and a rinse when you're washing the car.
Personally use Meguiars gold class.
Also its worthwhile waxing the wheels as it helps when washing brake dust off

I use the meguiars pink stuff (hot wheels or something?); pretty good and apparently doesn't damage the laquer. I use this every two-three weeks when I wash the car (should do it more) so there's a healthy build-up of brake dust to shift. It does need brushing in etc. to shift the muck though; as far as I know there's no spray-on, rinse-off wonder product...

I use an alloy wheel protector after they have been cleaned. Its some sort of silicon based spray that puts a coat over the alloy. Brake dust clings to it, rather than the wheel, making it so much easier to clean next time.
