That time includes taking all four wheels off the car, cleaning every last part of each wheel, and then putting the wheels back on. I'm an old guy and don't doubt that others would get it done faster.
Still, a good deal of that time is spent scrubbing the wheels with fairly aggressive brushes. Otherwise, I've been unsuccessful in removing all of the brake dust.
Until now, I've coated the wheels after each cleaning with SONAX Wheel Rim Shield. Before I started doing that, the job was much more difficult.
I'm hoping the ceramic coating I had the shop put on the wheels makes cleaning easier. I'm also putting a BMW pad back on the car, too – which should help, a lot.
