Now you have your rims looking good, apply a dedicated wheel sealant. They are worth the $ and effort in applying as it makes cleaning so much easier! (I use nanolex wheel sealant)
Thanks. Will do on the sealant. On the cleaner I sprayed it on and then wash ed it with copious water. Still not sure why it made a mess. I redid it for 15-20 seconds before I did the polishing and it only left more mess tarnish. It does remove the brake dust well but it's in the bin now as it leaves a mess.
