I picked this stuff up and put 2 coats on my new RE's. So far it's worked great. Three washings and the brake dust still comes off very easily.
I was most concerned about the build up in the cracks and crevases like on the stock wheels...so far it's worked like a charm.

You spray WD40 on a towel/rug and then start rubbing the rim. All the dirt will come out right away. I couldn't believe it the first time!

If you have a old piece of clay bar that you don't use on your paint anymore, you can use that on your wheels and it will clean them like you wouldn't believe. Just use some soapy water with the clay bar and work it into your wheels.
