You still need to wipe or brush off the spray you put on, with *any* cleaner.

Default einszett Wheel Cleaner is a true spray on hose off.
I love this stuff. I was told that the formula is being changed, so I orders every case my supplier had in stock.

I have the OEM pads on my TT so I know what you mean by sticky dust. I spray the einszett on cool wheels, wait 3.5-5 minutes and hose off. Easy as pie.

Take the time to clean them right then wax them. They'll clean up easily after that.
