Wheel cleaner for 19" - wheels coated or uncoated?

[KKlabunde]

For a car that hardly ever requires braking, I sure get a ton of brake dust! I bought Meguiars All Wheel cleaner today (here), but then decided not to use it because I don't know if the wheels are factory coated or not. The bottle was very clear NOT to use the product on uncoated aluminum wheels; they have another product for that (here)

Anyone know what I should use? Or is there a better way to clean them? Has to be pretty easy or I end up never doing it...just reality. Thanks!

The brake pads produce more dust when they're new and are bedding in. Over time it'll diminish.

Gonna need to put a layer of protectant on them when they are clean.

I'm sure the stock pads are fine for stopping the car. I'm also sure that after those are worn, I will be changing to an alternative pad that will stop the car quicker AND produce less dust mess.

I've always used WheelWax. While it won't reduce the brake dust, it makes it easier to wash it off.

The wheels both performance and silvers are painted and cleared. They are not bare aluminum.

That's what I needed...thanks!
