Brake Dust On Rims?????

I've got a 97 Z28 and I can't seem to keep my front rims clean because of brake dust. I realize that you're gonna have some build up but I was just wondering if anybody had any tips on a way that brake dust won't build up SO bad. Maybe something you can put on the rims so the dust won't stick so bad?

Yea like n2ceptor said the ceramic pads are nice and will take care of your problem. If you don't get tho's, atleast buy medium grad pads and it will help alot.

Sounds like alot of work when you can just swap to a better set of pads IMO.
