Break dust

I'm using Turtlewax wheel cleaner on my factory-coated wheels and getting real half-a$$ results.
So I don't have to keep buying & trying, what works good & won't hurt the clear coat.
And is fairly easy to use. I don't paticully like cleaning wheels all the time.
Soon I'll put new pads in, How are Ceramic pads?

Re: Break dust

i use to get terrible brake dust, black within less than a week of normal driving. Switched to ceramic pads and not had any noticeable problems with it since

Re: Break dust

I put a set of ceramic pads on my S10 and they squeaked and squealed so bad that I took them back and put the "normal" softer pads back on. I just deal with the brake dust.

So I suppose you don't want to hear it's "helpful"

I'm just kidding with you man....

Have not tried the ceramic's yet, but will tell you that Orange Blast by Grease Lightning takes brake dust off like it's NOTHING.
Just FYI (praying I have no spelling errors now..lol)
