Most likely your alum. wheels are painted and clear coated? Therefore treat them like the car hood, et al... Sure brake dust is a bitch- so is pine sap, but WD-40 is not the answer.
After a good wash- I recommmend a solid 3-way cleaner, polish and wax. You'll noitce the diff. from all and esp. with a good wax - makes cleanign road grim easey and brake dust a rinse.
After several good applications you will notice the advantage- Simple Green may work fine for a year, but 2-4 years WILL show the diff. (my wife's Jetta is evidence).
Bottom line- wheels are painted! Treat them that way. #2 BUY "dust free pads." The're really not dust free, but the 'dust' is white v. blk.
