I can agree that they do make more dust. But I have found it also has alot to do with the cleaners I used. Mothers for example, it cleans quicker but causes more dust to sitck IMHO. Eagle One, that packing stuff, takes piss and vinegar to get a really dirty wheel polished, but it seems to always rinse clean of brake dust.

wash and then wax them, but dont use carnuba based wax. use syn wax or teflon wax.
