Check out www.purplecleaner.com I spray it on after the wheels are clean and dry and then just wipe the whole wheel down and I've noticed much better resistance to brake dust. Also, when I do wash the truck, the brake dust comes off much easier. Not cheap, but a little bit goes a long way.
I was actually at Advanced Autoparts and saw that "No More Dust" and "Purple Cleaner". I ended up getting Eagle 1 A-Z and Eagle1 Tire Shine Gel.

But today was my first day to wash my truck since I got the new tires/wheels. After cleaning them, and spraying them and everything I still saw like a layer of dust or something of the sort that no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get out. I don't know if thats brake dust or what?

Other than that, the Eagle1 Tire Shine Gel worked reallly good.

Also I used some Mothers Chrome Polish for the wheels and the chrome parts on my truck. Ran out of time today, so as soon as I get home from work tomorrow I'm gonna try to wax it.
