You need good pads...for instance the HPS dust far less the stock pads..Ask around other will say the same...then try some of the ideas above to clean your wheels. Your going to need to ask about track pads and dusting..Most of the better road pads dont dust nearly as much as stock..FYI

I hear there’s a coating you can have put on the rims to keep brake dust from sticking to them. I came across this thread while trying to find out more about it.
obviously people cant read
i realize better brake pads
thats obvious
but im looking for something to put on my wheels to help prevent the brake dust build up

magic...

brake dust sticks to everything. Hell it's probably got a decent static charge sense it's been rubbing on metal right before it became airborne.

If you want less dust go with a less dusty pad as mentioned.
If you want it to be easier to clean off use wax, it works.
If you want to use a product to clean it off they work too mostly.
If you want to make the dust avoid the spokes... call harry potter.

WheelWax hasn't shown itself as a highly durable product. There are a few good options for treating wheels. I prefer using FK1 1000P, a high-temperature sealant that can be found by scrolling down this page. If there's a Harbor Freight store around, Collonite 476S is another good choice. Both of these products last a long time and look great on paint, as well. Really, the OP's question would have generated better info if it were posted on the detailing forum.

What products/brush are you using? Duragloss AWC works very well and can be had OTC. Check their site for locations. Meguiar's Wheel Brightener is also very good, if not better, for hard stains. It's a professional product that can be diluted 4:1. You can buy a 32oz sample here. While you're at it, grab a decent wheel brush.
