Nice job. Some people swear by Rejex for wheels and such to protect and make it easier to clean. I personally have never tried it.

Every time you tighten a bolt, you stretch it just a little bit. That's what helps it to "bite" and lock the threads, keeping it tight. If you were to remove the wheels every time you wash the car, you would eventually need to replace your wheel bolts. Food for thought.

I usually wash the wheels every time I wash the car, but I never clean the inside unless I've got the wheel off to bleed brakes or change pads.

BMW OE pads dust horribly yes, but any pad that dusts less likely will not perform as well, as noted earlier in the thread. Brakes, like everything else in life, are a trade-off.
