Default Severe brake fluid/dust stains on rims

Hey, has anyone dealt with severe brake dust and fluid stains on their rims? 2 months ago I cleaned my rims and left them shinny and spotless. Was tough cleaning them since they yellowed from fluid and blackened from dust. I’ve never in the past have dealt with this issue on other vehicles.

Im looking into plastic dipping my rims but afraid that having to always scrub the rims and chemical clean them (Lysol toilet bowl cleaner) that the dipping will get ruined. Any advice as to what’s causing this?

If you have fluid stains, sounds like your calipers are leaking brake fluid. If it’s just dust, switch to metallic pads. Less dust. Or just clean them more often.
