Been using regular P21S wheel cleaner, still had to scrub to get all the new brake dust off. Tried P21S Gel, next, let it sit about 15 min, still about the same results! How do you guys use it? Suggestions please?

If your rims are badly soiled, whatever products you use, you'll need to rust a brush to scrub the corners. Doesn't matter how lonw you leave the gel there. Normally I would just spray it, wait for like 3 mins then do the scrubbing.

Good Morning sixgun95:
WOW, this ever ending BMW excessive brake dust issue,
, that I also put up with! Now what I do is wash my rims on a twice a week basis, and so far I have no problem removing the BMW e60 Brake dust with the PS 21, but it is a pain having to take time and use on my weekends, and my weeknights, and I now considering going back to the clean wheels, (which I hate the looks of the "Kleen wheels" Frisbee look method, but I hate BMW brake dust even worst! LOL) :'(
I am also researching the Hawk brake Pad Company for their NEW e60 white ceramic brake pads which supposed to have low brake dust, min or NO brake squeal, and are advertising their Hawk Ceramic BMW e60 brake pad stops better than the OEM BMW pads, Which I really don't believe, but...
Stay in touch and let us know what you do about your brake dust problem.
Sincerely,
R. Eddie Presley

If you do want a wheel cleaner that requires no agitation, try Poorboy's Spray & Rinse.
The downside on not having to scrub is that the product itself is pretty agressive, and I wouldn't recommend using it on a regular base. It can come in handy when you haven't washed your wheels in weeks and are extremely soiled.
P21S is great though, it may require scrubbing but its absolutely clear coat safe. You can let it sit for 2 hours on heavily soiled wheels.
