Combating brake dust

so i have the factory aluminum wheels on my 97. the clean up great but 2 days later they are covered in brake dust again and look horrible. has anyone tried the dust shields that bolt between the wheel and rotor?? pros/cons. any other ideas?? thanks in advance

Ceramic brake pads would be my first choice.

new factory brake pads are natorious for this.. you will have to swap out to a higher grade pad. such as the ceramics previously mentioned.
