simple green will etch or mess up the wheels unless you dilute it. there's all kinds of wheel cleaner that you can buy that is clearcoat safe and will not harm the wheels.

Not to mention that degreasers tend to dry out the rubber....which isn't good for your tires.
Personally, Westley's Bleach White is my favorite.

i personally love the product also, but not for cleaning wheels, tires yes but not on the wheels themselves. i use meguiars wheel brightener to clean mine, i usually try to keep a coat of wax or two on my wheels also to help clean them in the long run. But then again my wheels are painted.

I do the wax on the wheels thing too.... i think mine are painted also, just silver. I usually wipe off my wheels every other day or so, so the brake dust doesn't really build up on mine.

My Jeep came with ceramics and Ive never seen a hint of dust..
Any brand of ceramic pads should have low dusting.. Usually the cheaper pads that a local mechanic shop or the ones you by at an autoparts store will put off alot of dust.

I've never had brake dust that badly. I wash the wheels with the rest of the Jeep and when I'm done, use a soft cotton rag (possibly damp) over the wheels. They look good for me. However, if you have the chrome wheels, I just tried windex today and it worked awesome.

yeah, I had ceramics on my ford ranger with hardly any dust at all. I think Blake's right, mine must have came with ceramics too because I really don't have that much dusting with mine either.
