What is there to do about it? What works best?

I have had people tel me all sorts of things like:
* putting a wax-like coating on them
* installing "kleen wheels"
* installing semi-metallic brake pads
* installing porcelin brake pads
* stepping up to the Brembo Big Brake Kit.

I can't afford the last, probably best solution! And I have concerns over each of the others. I hate having to detail my rims every 2-3 days (mainly the fronts)... what do you guys do? Just "suck it up" and "pay your dues" 2-3 times per week, or is there some magical secret that I could be enlightened with (Please!)
