Hi, I'm sure this topic has been brought up before, but I'm new to this forum stuff. Are you guy's experiencing excessive brake dust? Or is it my compulsiveness to try to keep my 18" wheels clean. I can't go 20 miles with out them looking like [censored]. I've received my notice from Infiniti about them taking care of excessive pad wear to 36,000 mi. I've only got 7,500 now and it's stored for the winter. For me it's not a question of wear yet, but the dust is killing me. I have been checking around and come up with a dust free ceramic composite as the fix. Any recommendations! Manufactures, brands, distributors, etc. Thanks

 

welcome to the forum! yes we talked ALOT about the brake dust... i suggest u try out the "search" on the left side of the screen... im sure you will find tons of info from it...

 

Try the tirerack and look for Satisfied pads. Or just by some Eagle 1 AtoZ and wax the rims after you clean them. Pads will most likely be a one time investment.

Have you changed to these pads, are they supposed to have a longer life as well? BTW, doesn't waxing the wheel make it collect more dust, like when you wax the car, it seems to collect more dust than before?

Oh, I didn't say it was easy to clean, you should have seen the front wheels after a drive on wet streets, in a rain storm!

as far as cleaning products.. I use meguiars Gold Class Instant Wheel Cleaner


awesome stuff.. spray it on.. easily wipe it off and spray with water..

 

Hey, that doesn't hurt the wheel finish then? I have always been afraid to try those things, I knew a guy who tried something on his Jag some years back, and it really screwed up the wheel finish!

Make sure you get the right kind of cleaner for your wheels.. there are different cleaners for chrom, alloy, etc... The wrong cleaner can ruin your rims.

I use these wheel wipes that are easy to use between washes. I think they are made by black magic. I also use zaino on my wheels, it makes dust easier to remove.
