Go with different pads - obviously not the same as what you have (where/when were they last done and what did they use?).
I've had great luck with Akebono over the years.

Different pads are the only solution really.
I've also heard good things about Akebono plus there's a few other low dust options in the forums if you don't track your car.

I have the same problem. However, since the brake dust is easy to remove, I have not felt compelled to do anything about it. My experience with past cars, Nissan Maxima and BMW, has been best with OEM pads for feel, quietness, resistance to warping and life.

Please… no caliper covers…please don’t do that to your GS.

A number in members have tried Akebonos and there’s been no complaints, try those and post your results… maybe it’ll give me the push I need to install the set that’s been sitting in my garage the last 2+ years.

Option 2… do like me and have a bucket of very diluted cleaner and clean the rims mid week. Some folks like to tout ONR and other waterless washes… keep it simple, soap and water is just fine.

I would becareful with the pad that im choosing, i had the akebonos they squeel like crazy, i just swapped to the TSB pads, have been lovely with no squeel lately.

Yup I use waterless wash to just wipe them down. Comes off rather easily.

The stock pads get dusty a lot and fast but they stop really well when u need it.

I haven't noticed any squealing with this 2019 GS like I did with my 2014 GS and 2018-19 RC. Maybe they changed something? They all get dusty but this one hasn't squealed yet and I'm already 20K miles in with about 50% left on the front pads. The rears are still pretty much like new.

I completely forgot about the brake dust repellent spray. I think Meguiars use to make one. Love the stuff and my wheels stayed clean a lot longer.

Wheel wax does a decent job as well. Makes the dust come off a little easier. Apply every 4 weeks (1600 miles) for best results.

I use Turtle Wax Seal n' Shine Spray Wax on the wheels after a good cleaning. Makes the cleaning process a lot easier.
As for brake dust, I've installed Akebono ProAct Pads on G37 Sports and Camry's and the dust was significantly lower.

I've got my wheels ceramic coated and makes cleaning a breeze.
Thinking about trying the repellant spray to prevent even that initial sticking so cleaning will be really minimized.
