    I use the Ez-Brush and PS21 gel. Works great and is not harmful to powdercoating at all.

    The same soap you use to wash your truck. Cleaners really shouldn't been needed other then mild soap and water. I'v used P21S before. But I'v found nothing really just washes brake dust off. You still have to at least apply some mechanical force (a rag or brush) and it is was really just removes the brake dust. If you clean your wheels regularly, then you wont have to fight build up and use quality pads. The Toyota pads make hardly any dust at all and I'd stick with those.
