I used WD40 with a hard toothbrush on Sunday to get some pretty hardcore dust off. Needed to basically scratch it off then polish.

Like aarong said you can get it just about anywhere mate. Will cost you probably 17dollars or so. Its a pretty big spray bottle though and its a clear hot pink coloured bottle with a black sticker on it with hot wheels written on it from memory. Its good stuff, just spray and leave a while and rub off. That other suggestion was a good one too about the claybar,, that may help your cause. Other thing you could always try is something like meguiars paint cleaner i guess (kinda like a mild polish - correct me if im wrong aarong) and that may polish it off? Try the hot wheels though, good stuff.. especially if you havent left the brake dust for ages...

Read the instructions for the Hot Wheel cleaner. Your rims have to be COLD, and there is a maximum time that you can leave it on for before you get damage.

I usually spray a bit of diluted ct18 degreaser on the rims a couple of minutes before I sud them up with car wash, and that usually helps with the brake dust.
