I think the key is to clean your wheels regularly. ( I usually wash my car, which includes the wheels, once a week). Brake dust is corrosive and will eat into the finish, so if you leave it on too long, there's nothing that will clean up pitted wheels. I've never had to use anything but water and sponge to clean mine up, along with an application of wax every couple of months.
Here are my wheels after 67K miles. This was on our way to BRBS after 450 mi. of driving.. since being washed.
