What's the best way to keep the inside of your rims clean

Seems like I am cleaning mine so often. There has to be a way to keep them from collecting so much brake dust, etc. I have been cleaning them and waxing them, but that doesn't seem to last very long.

Anyone have any tips?

I've never used rejex but people seem to like it. I think keeping them good and waxed makes cleaning them easier. But to me the most important thing is the type of wheel you own. Twists are super easy because you don't have to take them off the car. Any mesh wheel looks great clean buts sucks royal dung to clean.

Of course if money is no object get ceramic brakes

I use FK1 Hi Temp wax part number 1000. This wax seems to stick and last on wheels. My car is not a DD and I have to admit I clean the wheels every time I drive it.
