I know they sell covers that install behind the rim between the rim and the
brakes which are supposed to keep the dust from collecting on the wheel. I
don't know how well the work....and I believe some DMLers have said that
these covers can cause excessive heating of the brakes??????

Other than that I hear ya, I go thru brake dust cleaner every week!
