Brake Dust ??
Can anyone suggest a good cleaner to prevent brake dust buildup on the rims? I don't mind cleaning them daily or every 2 days; however if there is something that can help reduce the amount of build-up that occurs, I'm game....
:D

Wax the wheels. Just good wax like you use on the paint.
Trust me it works well and it keeps the dust from bonding to the wheel finish.
The wheels will get as dirty, but will clean easily.
There isn't anything that will reduce the dust except different pads. However, low dust pads either have low friction or accelerate rotor wear. The rotor wear issue though is acceptable because it's usually only by a few thousand miles.
Ceramic based pads, like from Akebono, are very low dust and great wear for pad and rotor. However, low friction levels.
