Unhappy Cleaning brake dust!!!

Hey, I have the factory rims for the 2006 Evo 9 mr. My problem with it is the brake dust. I have a hard time cleaning it. I used several different products but it don't seems to remove all the brake dust. I try to clean it every three weeks to prevent it from piling up. But there still seems to be break dust there. So any suggestion on products or how to clean it.

Also, is there any fm transmitter that works with the car, it always seem very static or anyways to install a auxiliary jack into the car.

and lastly, anyone that has brembo brakes, did the paint being to chip? because mine did and i only had the car for a year and half with low mileage. i was wondering maybe it was the products i used that may have chipped away at the red paint on the brembo brakes.

3 Weeks is a long time. I clean mine at least 2x a week but I daily and I have carbotech pads.

No chipping on mine except where they guys scratched it putting on my wheels.

From the way you stated your post it sounds like you have a IX, not a X. Although I would guess your questions are general enough that responses would be completely valid, you should also post in the older evo section. People might have more experience with the paint chipping on the brembos ( I doubt the paint is different on the X, but ya never know)
