first thin i tell them DO NOT WASH, VACCUM, DUST OR WAX MY CAR. i have hear too many stories plsu lat night i put zymol wash and colinite wax on it... it looked newer than some of the new ones they had... black in and out by the way anyway..

well, took my 2000 ml430 in for the following:
1. way too much brake dust: wash vehicle and after 15 minutes of driving there is way too much brake dust on my wheels.

2. skylight rubbing rubber and having a very difficult time opening and closing

3. water leaks under passenger and driver dash (near feet)

4. side bars (not running boards!) were loose and rusting already
there is only 11,576 miles on this vehicle..


they said they could not do anything with the brakes...
i had also pointed out that the brakes were totally replaced at 3500 miles. they could not do anything about it.... he took me on the lot ans showed me some 2003's and showed me nobody has ever touched these and look at the brake dust...
why does mercedes do somehting about this!

anybody have any ideas here. what should i do?

they fixed everything else (i have 100k miles warranty.. thank goodness..

thanx three56a

MB Brake pads dust.

However, Ceremix Brake pads are "low dusting" and I use them on my Truck, and 99 Z28 with great success.

Just be sure you have some aftermarket rotors in the future ready to go on because I am not sure how long rotors will hold up to a carbon cremic pad like that.

Basically, mine dust a thin film of clear dust after about 2 weeks of very hard driving.

I got mine at my local NAPA.

Also, wax the wheels. It will help repel the brake dust a little bit.
