If Hot Rims is leaving dust behind then an intensive process is going to be required to bring the wheels back up to perfect again. I'd start with an acid cleaner to remove as much of the baked on dust as possible - Gloss It Wheel Gel or Meguiars Wheel Brightener would be good choices. Then, I'd switch to Autosmart Tardis to remove any tar spots. At this stage, if any crap remains you will then need to clay the rims using an aggressive clay bar, and then polish them using a finishing polish (to remove any marring). Now you should have clean rims to protect and maintain. More details on this link...
