A fast way to deal with all this brake dust?

There are several things that awe me about my new-to-me E63. One is I have never, ever in my lifetime seen a car generate this much brake dust. Good gravy. They look dirty every 50 miles. I know the more permanent solution is a set of RADO or similar brake pads, but in the meanwhile do you guys have a fast 5 minute method to hit the wheels with a brush or something every couple days?

Adams wheel cleaner helps me prevent brake dust but then again I drive it with S+, M, and let off accelerator I very rarely use my brakes and when I do its when I'm at 10-20mph coming up to traffic light. I don't drive during heavy traffic or have to deal with it where I drive it.

I've ceramic coated my powdered coated high gloss wheels. For a quick fix, a long enough brush so I can remain in the upright/standing position hitting all the spokes. For a cleaner look, I spray ONR on a microfiber towel and clean. Either method efforts has been reduced due to the coating, so I am not there long compared to my other cars where its caked and soiled in. The brush is good for those quick dusting as long as you haven't been off roading.
