Default Cleaning black wheels

I was wondering how everyone cleans their black wheels and gets all the brake dust off.

WD-40 has always done a good job for me and it actually helps keep the rims clean and easier to clean the next time around

We're supposed to clean black wheels? Had mine on over a year and used the brush on them at the car wash is all. Would probably be good to clean them, but I had chrome on my old truck and it was a pain to clean which is why I went with black.

I just changed my pads to the ceramic and now I don't have all the brake dust that helps a lot. I spray tire shine on my tires and rims to give them the same color black.
