Brake Dust in the Rain

Normally when I drive around, brake dust is a minimal problem that only affects my wheels a small amount, and it is barely noticeable. It might flake off onto the wheel a little bit, but cleaning it off is easy with just a light dusting of a microfiber towel. However, I often find that during or after a storm, the brake dust on my wheels actually becomes alot more noticeable, and it becomes caked into the wheel itself, making it near impossible to clean without a wash. Is there any kind of wax that I can put on my alloy oem wheels that will not let it become caked into the wheel, and that it can be removed easily with just a brush or towel? Thanks in advance everyone.

Blackfire wet diamond all finish paint protection, poorboys wheel sealant, any coating designed for wheels, or opti-coat 2.0 if you want lasting protection.
