2008 Range Rover Sport TDV6 S Zambezi Silver

The best thing I've found is once the wheels are clean and dry carefully apply some plastic trim treatment, it never completely dries on painted surfaces so normally washes off easier, failing that brake dust coloured wheels 08 2.7 RRS "S"

Poor boys wheel wax,give them a good clean using Bilberry or APC.Then wax them,then next time you clean them just a quick spray with bilberry and the brake dust will just wash off

Bilberry is a non acidic wheel cleaner. APC is Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner.

I use the bilberry and it is fantastic at getting stuff off your wheels. Not used APC yet but they both get very favourable write-ups on the detailing forums
