Daniel, if you have BMW rims then use the same product you use for your other painted surfaces.

For your top: Raggtopp or get some of the BMW stuff they sell at your local dealer.

For caked on brake dust, you may want to try WD-40. I have never tried it myself, but others have claimed good results. If you do use this tecnique, you should follow up with a good cleaning with a regular cleaner.

Remember, your rims are clearcoated so be gentle with them.

I use the bimmian wheel wax brand to keep the dust off. Well to make the dust easier to come off that is...works great.
