In short, YES. But how?
Brake dust is caused by the abrasion between the brake discs and pads. This is perfectly normal, but if left on your alloy for an extended period of time it will start to corrode the metal which is a problem that should not be left unattended.
We recommend you wash your alloy wheels regularly; should the brake dust persist then we suggest you use a wheel cleaner which are designed to work on specific metals and alloys. Use an alloy or a nylon brush and work the 
solution well into the brake dust; once lifted it can be washed away with lots of water.
If you notice that your alloy wheel has already started to corrode, then it is time to book it into a wheel repair specialist like Diamond Alloys. Even if the corrosion is quite bad we can still remove it with acid and give the alloy a fresh powder coat, re-spray and protective lacquer which will have your alloys looking as good as new.
We also highly recommend rims bands which help protect your rims from kerbing damage which can damage the protective layer and allow water to seep underneath. These can be fitted at the end of your refurbishment for a small cost which alongside a refurbishment is a lot cheaper than buying new, especially if you take advantage of the Diamond Alloys 4 wheel discount.
