Brake dust driving me crazy!
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 ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Good idea on the wax.

Try some wax
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.
