MR SHEEN works a treat..............I use it all the time as recommended by my wheel polishing mate

And if that does not work use AutoSol Metal Polish on the alloy/metal bits

FYI Engine degreaser will do Sweet F All on rims as its does not have any effect to brake dust

Also brake dust becomes corrosive if left on a wheel for long periods of time then if it has corroded your wheels its near impossible to get them to look mint again
