Is it rust pits or is it surface specks? As another has said rust is
unlikely to form that fast, and even if you clean it off it will leave the
pit. If the surface is perfect after cleaning then it is surface specks.
On dry roads I never get more than a thin film of dust on mine, maybe yours
is losing fluids somewhere.
I never use a brush, I think they are just too harsh for chrome. I use a
hose brush dipped in a bucket of water to shift the grime and any grit from
the areas it can reach, then a leather and MkI digit to wipe off the water
and get to the areas between the spokes, then spray on body polish such as
Turtle, wipe that over all the surfaces with the MkI digit, finally polish
that off again with the MkI digit inside a clean duster. Takes about an
hour per wheel and I get lovely shiny finger nails - on one finger at least.
