Clean Wheels That Will Now STAY Clean !!

Finally, the rear brake pads for my ML320CDI became available from Rotex Gold; and I installed them today. Now all four wheels will stay clean, instead of just the fronts, which were installed with Rotex Gold about 6 weeks ago; and have only a very light (almost invisible) coating of dust after all that time.

As we all know all too well, with the MB brake pads, all four wheels would get dirty very quickly; but the fronts were always about 10X worse than the rears. After doing the fronts last month, they stayed clean, but the rears got really nasty, as usual. Now, everybody gets to stay clean; and the pads are nice and quiet with braking efficiency just as good as the OEM MB pads.

If you want a good source, let me know; and I'll also advise you of who to stay clear of.

I'd be happy to provide that information; but since your avatar says I'm "too stupid", I'm probably not a good source.

Then you also won't take it personal when I don't respond to your request because - humorous or not - it's insulting.

Or, maybe, I'm just too stupid to get it.

I also can not imagine how and what a regular minded individual can use such a %$#@#$%^ thing. Have you ever been behind a bumper sticker saying "Eat my ****" ? Do you find it "funny"/or "humorous" ?
I am with Dutch on this matter.

Good luck. If you pick the wrong vendor, you will get generic brake pads which are labeled as "Rotex" by the seller - not the real thing!

But that's OK. You are in a free country where you (and the vendor) can do as you wish.

Because the vendor to whom I'm referring tried to do that to me; but then, I'm probably too stupid to know any better.

Happy Trails. I'm done responding to you.
