I would recommend a polymer rather than a wax. I use a polymer (RejeX) and find that clear water with a wheel brush removes all brake dust. I also use the polymer to remove tar. WD-40 works well on tar too, but will probably remove the polymer, too.

Being an Ex-Rejex user, I would have to say that this was the best route. I recommend Rejex for the wheels. It's a polymer based solution and will hold up much better than a wax. However, just know that BMW brakedust is some of the worst, so you'll still have to do some scrubbing on the wheels. After a few applications, I finally gave up on the wheels and just clean them by hand, every time I wash the car.

As for the rest of the car, I'm an official Zaino user and probably will not try anything else ever again. :thumbsup:

I agree. Tried Rejex on my wheels but it doesn't last very long or seem to offer much protection. :thumbsdown: BMW brake dust appears to be the most corrosive of all cars and gets through anything to get to the lacquer. :mad:
