RejeX is great stuff. I used to seal my paint with it, until I moved on to Blackfire Wet Diamond.
also, FWIW, I've been using ArmorAll Wheel Protectant on my wheels lately to prevent brake dust from accumlating. This stuff flat WORKS, regardless of AA's reputation. I do still seal the wheels to help with cleaning.

I've only had my first MB for about 2mos and was amazed at the brake dust build up. However, as mentioned above - used Simple Green and an old tooth brush to get the baked on stains out. It worked surprising well. Thanks for the wheel wax comments, I will try that to reduce the buildup.

Simple Green is a degreaser so will strips any protection you might have on there. If you use wheel wax or wheel sealant, it'll remove it every wash and you'll have to reapply it which is a chore and defeats the easy wheel cleaning aspect of wheel wax/sealant.
