Dirty wheels?
I will be recieving a 2012 Cayenne S in a few weeks, it will be equipped with the 20" Spyder wheels. My question for you current owners is - how must brake dust should I expect? I am familiar with other Porsches and other German cars so I am expecting heavy brake dust but I didn't know if the Cayenne is different. The Spyder wheel that will be on my vehicle already appears to be a little difficult to clean anyway so maybe you may have some tricks.
The Cayenne will be used primarily by my wife but I know that I will still not want it to be driven around, or be seen in my driveway, with the dirty grey wheels.
Thanks for any information.

My RS Spyder wheels collect brake dust; maybe not quite as bad as on my Carrera but significant. The dark silver finish helps hide it somewhat. I wash frequently, use P21S wheel cleaner, and I don't use any of the dust rejection products. I know people swear by them, but I'm not convinced the extra work applying the stuff and the expense is better than a wash or a quick wipe down with Meguiars Qwik Detailer or similar.

I think you will be happy with the Spyders. They have a gray finish that actually hides the dust for a lot longer than a silver finish. I have used the ArmorAll wheel protectant on the wheels, and it does make a difference, but I am too lazy to keep applying it.
Congrats on your new Cayenne S!
