Dustless Brakes?

So i was talking to a friend of mine the other day and he said that his mechanic told him about some new kind of brakes or brake pads that produce little to no dust. I was just wondering if he was joking around or is there really something like that out there. If so I am definitely getting them bc i am tired of cleaning my wheels two or even three time a week bc of all the dust. Which brings me to another topic. Know of any good cleaners that easily remove brake dust?

i installed ebc red pads 4 months ago ... havent washed my car since, and there is only a slight brake pad dust layer on my wheels.

for cleaning, ive been using P21S wheel cleaner. spray on, rinse off.

I've also had EBC red pads installed on my C43 and they have very minimal dust, work well at the track and daily driving.

Don't be fooled into a pad that just claims low dust and nothing else. A pad that works well is always first priority, low dust isn't.

A few others will probably jump in with some other brand pads that have worked well for them, see what else is recommended and decide from there.

i would use a mr clean magic eraser on your wheels. this gets the cured-on brake dust off so all thats left is very clean smooth metal. then use any kind of detailing spray wax on the wheels and any future wheel cleaning efforts will require only a dry towel.
