I think I would try some polishing compound. Once they are cleaned up get a few good coats of polish on them to help protect from future damage.

I'm facing the same problem but I found this thing you put on the inside of you rim and it' a brake dust guard.. it doesn't keep it all off but it keeps a majority of it off, so I'm hoping for about $25 it'll save me some time..
