Does E350 really have different shape front and rear wheels?
I did washing of a car today (still no brake dust), so I just refreshed wheels and noticed that rear wheels spokes going a bit more outside than for front ones. However it isn't noticable when you look at wheels unless you start really washing them follow all curves.

Yeah, if it's not a 4-Matic, the rears are wider than the fronts.
I agree about the brake-dust, simply a beautiful thing. You can literally eat off of my wheels. My W211's was like caked in black the day after washing it.

I have not seen this on my 2011 E550. However, I did have spots just after the car was delivered. The cause was the tire dressing applied by the dealer. I've never understood why they use products that shed when there are other dressings available that do not exhibit this behavior.

Yeah, shedding products suck.
I used "303 Aerospace Protectant", which is a marvelous and amazing product, but it sheds a bit after using it, so I have to deal with wiping off its residue that gets around the car for a couple of weeks or so, it seems.
At least the product is a protectant for all surfaces, so it can't hurt.
