My GT performance pack came with matte black wheels which I am finding is extremely hard to keep clean and have bronze spots from brake dust no matter how much I scrub it. It also came with red painted calipers and can’t get to them well through the wheel which has been a challenge to clean also. Anyone have cleaning suggestions?

Ceramic coating the wheels and calipers will help the brake dust come off easier... then a matter of finding a good cleaner and wheel brushes that fit your wheels (try several to find a good fit). I also remove wheels once in a while to clean inside and the calipers... really the only way to do a thorough job.

I have the same problem but I have the bronze package. It appears that changing to ceramic pads is the best option for all but eliminating the dust. In the mean time, waxing or ceramic coating and/or getting a crap load of assorted brushes for cleaning will get you by.
