Dustless Brake Pads

Are there any good dustless or low brake dust pads in the market for our 997TT (non ceramic brakes)? I hate driving 2 blocks after a detail wash and the wheels are untastefully dirty so quickly!

IMO the OEM pads are an all around good combination of stopping power, low-to-no squealing, and low dusting. Having said that I usually will pull my wheels 3-4 times a years for wheel well/suspension cleaning and wheel polishing/sealing. This has kept the dust from adhering as much as a non-sealed rim. Here are some articles and products from my favorite dealing site:

agree^^

Here is a solution that definitely works. I use it on my wife's BM and her car needs washing well before the wheels. Before it was the other way around. Brake dust does not stick. I don't use it purely because i don't mind my shiney silver wheels darkening up to a satin charcoalish grey but i have used t once and it took forever to get the wheels dirty with brake dust.
