Brake dust question
What do you guys use for keeping brake dust off? I use Eagle One A2Z All Wheel & Tire Cleaner, and it works fairly well as a cleaner but I am looking for suggestions on what products I could use as a brake dust repellent to keep the brake dust off for a longer period of time. I end up using about half a bottle of the Eagle One product for a single wash which is ridiculous!
I tried ArmorAll Brake Dust Repellent and it was a mistake! Never again... left white spots on my black wheels and was a pain to get off. This product would work well for those who do not have the black wheels since the spots will be nearly invisible and much harder to see.
I know the Porterfield brake pads were suggested by a few users so I might do that when my pads need to be replaced but any suggestions for products I can use right now while I wait for that to happen will be great.

I use gtechniq c5 wheel armour (2xcoats) followed by a coat of fk1000p high temp wax to add a little more durability. Then I only have to use regular car shampoo and a mitt to clean the wheels.
The issue is that the standard brake pads create so much brake dust. They never stay clean for long. The standard pads only last me 10-12k miles at best so I'm waiting on my order from porterfield.

I have Ceramic Pro on my wheels, and they are definitely easier to clean. I even use the waterless sprays to clean them, and dust comes right off. The problem remains that the pads just produce so much dust that the wheels get dirty in a few days anyway.
