Brake Dust - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #39641 6 posts Started by nixxx
Ive just installed ceramic pads on my front calipers and man.....my wheels get dirty really fast. Just wondering if ceramic brake pads makes more dust than semi-metalic or any others brake pads.....
THX guys
I can agree that they do make more dust. But I have found it also has alot to do with the cleaners I used. Mothers for example, it cleans quicker but causes more dust to sitck IMHO. Eagle One, that packing stuff, takes piss and vinegar to get a really dirty wheel polished, but it seems to always rinse clean of brake dust.




i heard simple green works good
wash and then wax them, but dont use carnuba based wax. use syn wax or teflon wax.

Get simple green, spray all over the wheel, let it soak about 2-5 mins, then scrub and spray down. It works for me.
