I'm curious on how much you wash your rims? Becuase if that "brake dust" is stuck on there. That must have been on there a looooong time. Are you sure its brake dust. Cause dust wipes off. And i've never had that problem with my polished rims. Hell i've never had anything sticking to them at all actually. I love them. I'd buy polished rims everytime.
This is a big reason i traded off my Welds....i'd spend an afternoon polishing them to almost chrome, then 2 days later they'd be dull again, and i'm NOT spending a ton of money on aluminum sealer that isn't permanent.
What i use though is a 3 inch buffing pad attached to a drill that i bought at a local hardware store. It's a velcro-attach pad set that has 2 different foam pads and a wool buff pad just like you'd use on paint. I use that with typical Mother's mag wheel polish....you wouldn't believe how well it works. Screw the powerball....

That sucks man. Honestly, i've only waxed my polished rims once and that was when i got them out of the box. And all i did was wipe wax on with a pad and wipe it off. And i've done nothing but wash them and they shine like chrome
Pick up Blue Magic, it's the best metal polish on the market hands down. It will clean anything from gold to aluminum. I have a little tub of it and it will last a lloonnggg time. I use it quite often on my chrome wheels and it takes off contaminates I didn't even see. And all I use is my finger and a microfiber towel.
tellin ya, go for the Greased Lightning. I have compared the simple green and it pales in comparison!
Do not use either on aluminum! Both are caustic and will corrode/pit the aluminum if left on for any duration.
