Is it brake dust that keeps getting them dirty so fast? If so, use a better brand of brake pad. Ceramics are also very low dust, but some people don't like them so much. I have used them for the past 7-8 years and have never had any problems with them. The only way my wheels get dirty now is when it rains.

I use Eagle1 etching Mag cleaner. You just spray on and hose off. it cleans brake dust pretty well.

Use pretty much any wheel cleaner (I use this turtle wax wheel cleaner, like $3). Spray them with a hose, then the wheel cleaner, let soak for like a minute, then wipe them off with a rag. After this clean with like normal soap. Should be near perfect afterwards. I do this everytime I wash my car.

some clearcoats are ruined by products like these, just depends on what kind of clearcoat the OEM used. my 02 jag (oem wheels) started to lose its clearcoat when a carwash used that **** on my wheels, luckily they payed for a new clearcoat, but if youre doing it yourself its money out of your pocket, maybe.

just stating my own personal experience

I work at a place that details cars, and we use basically a buffing compound (for paint) but try any thicker liquid wax,and rub hard it'll all come out!

Be careful with a buffing compund, you can easily burn through the factory clear and leave many blemishes afterwards.

M3 makes a great product for that wheel finish
