Brake dust on 2010 E 350
Hi Guys,
Just curious, my car in maintenance and my loaner is a 2011 E 350; I've been driving the loaner for almost 3 days and can't notice any break dust!?
I am tired of my 2010 brake dust, it's painful to clean and maintain.
Does anyone know if break pads or rotor specs/supplier changed from MY 2010 to MY2011? or is it something related to the braking system? Any ideas?
Appreciated!

Oddly enough, my 2010 seemed to have no brake dust, and my 2011 has moderate brake dust (not as bad as my '06 W211, but there's definitely brake dust now).
My old car had the standard W212 Sport Wheels, and my new car has the AMG Wheels. Maybe the wheel material "grabs" dust more?

I do notice less dust on the 2011 E550 than on the past Mercedes I've owned.
It's also much easier to clean the wheels than it was back in the day when the wheels had a more complex design.

The first thing I do when I buy a new car is put 2-3 coats of Zaino on it, including the wheels. From that point on, it's simply a matter of wiping or hosing the dust off.

I also just use warm water and a chamois to wipe mine, and they're usually spotless. I'm an advocate of not using any abrasives/detergents unless you desperately need them. Tried and tested by all my cars.

I don't know. Zaino products aren't' really wax. I also use their car wash which is very mild.

Check out the detailing sub-forum for tips on keeping the wheels clean. Follow the links below. I personally like Mother's foaming All Wheel Cleaner.

Agressive enough (and safe enough) for any wheel type - just let it soak in!
