I have found that a good quality brand of carpet cleaner works well to remove the brake dust build up and is much cheaper to buy than the car care brands.
Just follow the same instructions.
I spray on the wheel, leave it on for 30 secs to 1 min then wash off with a High pressure unit (Karcher). If your wheels are really dirty you just use an old paint brush to work it in whilst you apply the cleaner.

I have been told that these chemicals will not harm the wheels or tyres.

The plus is that it also works on your car mats
Thanks for the tip... will definitely be giving this a go on mine. Brakes dust is building up like crazy...
