04+ TL's stock alloys and brake dust...
For the first time I wiped off some brake dust off my TL's alloy wheels and I couldn't belive how easy they are to clean. They feel so silky/smooth. The brake dust of some other five spoke alloys I have owned is the past were so difficult to clean. With the TL's there are no hard to reach places when removing brake dust. Yet another + for this great car.

shoot you guys have been having better luck than me cause i have waxed my wheels and it doesn't make a difference after you drive through a couple of rain storms. if i don't drive the car in rain the dust comes off pretty easy. but once i go through a couple of storms it is difficult to clean the wheels as the dust collects pretty heavy.

Not trying to be wise, but his idea of what it costs might not be your nearby distributor's idea of what to charge.
