Sometimes I find that applying certain waxes with the rubbing motion adds a positive charge to the rim (static charge) and this will attract more dust and cause it to cling to the rim. Just a thought. However, a good rinse should remove the dust easier with wax.

You can change your brake pads to ones that are a bit harder, and dont give off so much dust. The only trouble with them is that they can tend to squeek.
I was under the impression that you should never user ordinary car wax on your wheels because it melts/runs with the heat build up in your brakes/wheels
