Hi, I wondered what ppl use on there comp alloys. I only use my car at weekends, so it’s always clean, I wash it then may not use for week or so, but when I do the alloys get filthy full of rust of brake dust, it’s driving me crazy, is there any products to stop this?
Obvs I use the iron fall out remover etc when I was it, then dress the alloys, but the next time I drive it there filthy again.
Any help

MmmmmM2 indicated that Armor-All’s brake dust repellent product works well. Ya gotta reapply after every wash. More here:

Problem is made worse by washing and leaving parked, not M2 problem any car really.

I always go for a quick drive round the block to get water out of the brakes, then quickly towel off the rims when you get back.

If you don't track your car then you need to be using CarboTech brake pads, as they will make the single most appreciable difference. Beyond that it's just ceramic coating, and using a small leaf blower on the wheels after every drive. I do this and my wheels are always immaculate.
