Great stuff, Downside is it attracts dust meaning you have to clean your wheels after about 4 days  :(

degreaser (aka Fairy washing up liquid) will shift it, then wax your wheels and the brake dust will simply fall off  :)

I waxed my wheels with a hard wax made by turtle wax, it comes in a flat round tin, got it in halfords.

It's really good stuff, brake dust etc just washes off and they look great with just a hose washing.
