Man..that takes a long time to do. Car wheels and overall look improve a ton when you do this..especially with aftermarket bigger wheels.

By the time you posted this, they are covered in dust again.

I just do the face of the wheels. I can't be bothered to go too deep when they dust up so quickly. I mean, I've had the car for less than a week and I've already washed the hell out of the wheels because they were black.

Guess I need brake pads on my mod list!

Are there pads which won't produce as much, or as dark of, dust?

Yeah I know. I'm getting some new wheels soon, so I just don't care enough about my current wheels to get that into it.

I do need to find a good brush I like for the wheels, just haven't decided on what I like yet.
