Once it is time for new pads, I am going to get EBC "Red Stuff" Ceramic brake pads, but for now my cars exterior will look great for weeks, but the wheels look like crap after only about a day after washing. I have tried wheel polish, but don't think it really helped. I read try letting WD-40 sit for about a minutes and hose off, but I have yet to try it. There are alot of little areas to keep cleaning every other day. Any advise or product that work really well without alot of fine scrubbing?

i dont know of a product that works well enough to where you can just spray it on/hose it off and not have to still scrub your wheels, you might just be doomed to use that elbow grease and scrub

A good set of ceramic pads will greatly decrease brake dust, thus keeping your wheels cleaner, longer. You will still have to break out the elbow grease when cleaning time comes though, there is really no way to get around that.
