The brake dust on this car drives me nuts. Literally after a 20 min drive, if I come back home they are covered. Never had this issue in my last car. I like keeping my wheels clean.

Any advice here? Anyone switch pads?

I wonder if the brake dust is for the specific brake pads that you are using? I get zero brake dust on my wheels. Besides the correct brake pad, I could look into coating the wheels with something like CQuartz Finest and maintain them with a Good quality Spray Wax, neither one of those two will eliminate the brake dust but it will make your life much easier to keep them clean.

They are OEM pads, car has 13k on it. Your wheels also look black from your profile pic

Good idea on the wax.

Tito TW

LOL, yes that's why I got them black!

Jason B

Cool, did you apply the CQuartz yourself?

try akebono pads...

Tito TW

I did because I'm a certified CQuartz Finest Installer.

I have the same problem with brake dust. Not much you can do but I have found that a good application of wheel wax will make the problem a little easier to keep clean. Good wheel wax keeps the brake dust from sticking, making it easier to wipe clean. I have silver wheels and they show everything.

Get new 20's. They'll still get dirty but you won't mind cleaning them.

+1 on the Akebono pads.

Although, I had a heck of a time finding a shop in my area that would install them since everybody only wanted to deal with the OEM pads.

Porterfield RS4's...no dust no squeals

Jason B

Ha, Yes. Concavo cw5, or Vossen CV3 may be the ticket.

I used to do that when I had chrome wheels Just did it, and they seem to get just as dusty, but are much easier to wipe off now. I swear, after 20 min of driving, super dusty... It did add some shine though.
