Best product to keep brake dust off wheels?

What's up guys, just wondering what products you guys use that can be picked up at local stores.

I heard some could be harmful to your wheels, so basically what products do you guys use to keep brake dust off rims (white rims).

Thank you

I've been using Stoptech pads and they are great, very minimal brake dust.

There isn't really a way to keep dust and brake dust off your wheels but you can protect it by putting layer of wax on it from the elements.

You can use Wheel Guard from chemical guys to help protect your wheels and you can actually pick it up locally at Detail Maniac

i use SONAX wheel cleaner. Spray on yellow, it turns red when its ready to be removed, and use your hose to spray off. the brake dust just comes right off..

When buying wheel clean don't buy anything with acid in it. The Chemical Guys stuff is local in sacramento so that is good place to start.

I heard FW1 was pretty good too, might just put on some coats of wax.
