Angry Dealing with Brake Dust

I noticed that brake dust accumulates rather quickly on my Z; what are the most effective methods you guys use to clean your rims, and are there any precautionary ways to prevent getting so much brake dust ?

I clean my rims by using those wheel cleaners you spray that break apart the brake dust. It used to take me a looooong time to clean my wheels before I started using the spray. If you want to eliminate the brake dust, switch to ceramic brake pads... they never fade and will last the life of your car and more.

replace your pads with the hawk hps brake pads, without a doubt prob the best cosmetic mod i have done, its like night and day difference in dust, very little dust on the hawk pads, u can find them at www.tirerack.com
