Jack,
My wheels get dirty fast. I use a brush that fits through the spokes to
clean the insides. It works great and doesnt take much time. I think
the fundamental prob is with the brake pads. They seem to make more
black dust than any other brake set I own. Im thinking of those carbon
composite brake pads to "fix" the dust problem and upgrade (Frank
Holloway uses these). Ive seen these on a 94 F body and it does not
seem to suffer from brake dust as badly as it did with the stock pads.
I use regular car wax (meguires gold) on the wheels and it didnt seem to
do much to help...

I remember that a few weeks back , a few of you mentioned that you used
some kind of wax on the wheels to keep them from accumilating brake dust
as
bad .

I am nearing my first rotation and would like to do something to clean
the
wheels and then maybe some wax to keep them from getting as dirty ,
especially on the insides (I know , anal retentive) .

I saw some Mother's at Wally-World , but I was worried about it removing
the paint on the rims as it was for Aluminum and Magnesium wheels .
