A lot of people have switched to carbotech ceramic brake pads. They don't eliminate dust but from what I've read they cut it down quite a bit. They're in the $300+ range.
May not be the cheapest way but the best way if you are not tracking the car is the Carbotech 1521 pads at $325.85 . If interested I will be happy to help you.

I have ceramic pads. I still get a tiny bit of dust. What I have always done is use a spray window cleaner and a rag. You can touch up your wheels quickly. Spray on wipe off. Great for any finish.

Carbortech 1521's best practical solution. I foolishly waited a year before switching. Have had installed for a year and ~80% less dust and what is there is easily removed and doesn't corrode my wheels as did the OEM Z51 pads. Cheaper if you don't wait no need to have rotors surfaced!

I agree the Carbotech 1521 are great. Had them on my 2014 Z51, and liked them very much.
On my 2015 Z51 I decided to try the Power Stop Z26 "carbon ceramic" pads. I figured I'd be a Guinea pig on CF (nobody here has posted using them) and they are less than half the price of the 1521. $135 for a full set from Amazon. I'd say they are about HALF the dust of even the Carbotechs, and therefore WAY less than OEM. Similar braking performance to OEM and Carbotech in my 300-ish miles of street driving. I'll post a more detailed review later. Very pleased though.
Pics below are after about 200 miles of driving to and from work.
