I dont wanna risk using brasso on my new polished Porsche 8) 90's rims.

AutoGlym alloy wheel cleaner to clean them, then Mer Wicked Wheel Wax from Halfords. Brake dust just wipes off now.

Surely you have had them laquered after being polished in which case autoglym wheel cleaner should be all you require.
