I have tried all those, resorted to buying different pads. The satin finish just attracts the dirt/dust and it sticks

Waiting for a warranty issue to be resolved with my AG M510's, I plastidipped the Advanti wheels with the "true metallic aluminum" color. 5 coats of color and two coats of glossifier. It's not incredible but I think it's definitely an improvement. I also bought a bottle of the Brake Dust Pro cleaner that DYC sells so we'll see how well that works after the next few days of rain and stock brake pads.

Yep they are livable now. One weird thing is how the color changes based on different ambient light. When I snapped these pictures it was late afternoon and partially overcast and the wheels look bright silver, but later tonight they looked more of a matte silver / light gray color. Even though they have the p-dip glossifier applied, it's not substitute for a real clear coat to give that reflective quality that makes the color really pop. Oh well....it looks better than what they were, the actual wheels are being protected, and hopefully these are just temporary anyway.
