Default #$%@&* Brake Dust

I need some help....please!!! I have the polished spoke wheels on my '04. These wheels seem to be a magnet for brake dust! After washing, and a short drive, they appear dull from the dust. Is there a product out there that I can polish these wheels with that will make them really shine and at the same time make it easier to remove the brake dust? Thanks for your anticipated help as always!

Some True Value hardware stores are now carrying Rejex I understand. I have not found it around here. Try www.corrosionx.com

If you do not Autocross, you may want to consider switching to ceramic brake pads. Once it gets a little warmer out, I am installing my new AC/Delco ceramics. They should cut way down on dust.

I have the ceramic pads. and there is no brake dust to see. even after several weeks of daily driveing. they dont stop aas well as the others in my experience though after many hard stops they get hot or fade a little it seems. maybe they just dont have the same amount of friction to them or something. but absolutely no brake dust on the chrome wheels.
