I'm in the seeming minority but I don't find Brake Buster to be very effective at anything other than very light/minor brake dust accumulation, where regular car wash solutions work equally well and with no more effort. It's not a heavy duty cleaner. For that, I like Sonax Beast and Griots Heavy Dury Brake Cleaner.
Also, random thought but could it also be that the less sheen of the satin finish makes it appear dirtier? Or is the surface not even so light refracts differently and/or traps dirt more?

No, these are brand new wheels, a week old on the car. Also, never let the car go without a wash over two weeks - so stickler with clean wheels, all through barrels.
I’m in agreement with you about P&S. Sonax Plus was my favorite and it’s just too expensive. I have to go through 5 gallon jug of P&S BB first - had got it for a steal over a year ago.
The wheels remained dirty by using a white cloth to see what’s picked up after cleaning. After some more elbow grease, they seemed much cleaner after wasting time re-cleaning again.
