Sonax Beast and Griot's Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner work well. The Griot's is a little more economical and doesn't have a sulfer-y smell.

As others have said, ceramic pads should help w/ dust. I run Akebonos on my N55 X1 and the difference from OE is night and day. I do feel the brakes having less initial bite and feel they are a little softer but it is good for what it it. Haven't made the switch on the Moupe or C4S yet as I like the bite w/ steel/composite pads and it gives me something to bitch about.

I don't mind having to use a lil elbow grease, so product wasn't the issue. Unless ur recommendations require ZERO agitation. This issue was tools to clean the barrel esp behind the calipers. Also behind and between the spokes.
