Brake Dust is one of my biggest pet peeves. When I had my 2002 Toyota Celica GTS I put ceramic pads on and never had that problem again. I am looking ad doing the same thing to the truck. LOL
yea it does kinda make things look a little worse... Im not tooo hard on the brakes so it doesnt show as much my mom and sister however have black rims in the front because of brake dust!
Tomorrow when I drop her off to have the safty inspection and all that good stuff done to her I hope they do the brakes with ceramic pads, but if they don't I don't have a problem getting them myself and slapping them on.
I don't like brake dust any more than the next guy but I have noticed that the only time I noticed brake dust was when I went out to Yellowstone and back (5500 miles) and didn't wash it. If I wash it every few weeks I don't notice brake dust. My old truck the brake dust was like way amplified and you could notice it a mile away.
Brake dust does suck. I have found that if I wax up the chrome clad's with a couple layers of wax it sprays off and even appears less through the weeks between washes.
Michelin makes a brake dust repellent for your wheels. One application is advertised to last 2 weeks. I'm like Pirata though and wash my truck weekly and don't notice the dust so I can't tell you if it works or not.
