You might try waxing your wheels with WheelWax... It's supposed to stop the brake dust from sticking to your wheels and make them easier to clean.

I waxed my wheels with it last Sunday, but it's too soon to tell how much it helps.

Actually, Bill (Ferk) got a can for each of us. I'm not sure where he got it... Maybe he'll pop in to tell us...

If you come to the "Cars and Coffee" event tomorrow morning, you can see how they look...

Ended up getting it from Discount Auto. Auto Zone did not carry it. It was $13.

It goes on very easy and only required a little dap that goes a long way.

I put 2 coats on last week for the first time. I will try it again this week and see how it works.

It's wax...

Put it on... Let it haze up... Buff it off... Wheels look shiny and resist brake dust and dirt...

Wheel Wax seemed to make it easier to clean my wheels this week. I applied another coat to the wheels will see how the brake duct goes.

Ceramic pads on drilled/slotted rotors will dust like crazy. I know from experience. If you want lest dust, go with a different pad.

Wheel wax helps to keep the dust from sticking as much but it won't prevent the dust from sticking completely.
