Everyone with a 6MT: Bremboooooo
I got a little lazy a couple months ago and stopped cleaning my car on a weekly basis... which was good because i noticed that after about 4 weeks without washing that the FRONT RIGHT TIRE brembo's were dusting up the rims a lot... A LOT more than any of the other wheels...
I thought "well maybe this is a special case" so i re-cleaned the car spotless again and scrubbed the wheels down like a pro.
Lo and behold... 3 weeks later after no washing... the front right tire brembo again is kicking up a whole lot of brake dust....
Does anyone have the same problem with a "potential" misaligned brake pad???

These cars just give off ALOT of brake dust, especially the brembos. I clean my rims/what I can of the brake pad every 3 days and there is always a good amount of brake dust just from that short of time. Just somethin ya gotta get used to.

3 weeks between washing???? Lucky you. I'm lucky to go a week.
I haven't had any uneven brake dust. They both get very dirty very quick at an even rate.

Re: Everyone with a 6MT: Bremboooooo
The right side of the [US] road is rougher than the center........brake and shocks, and other suspension bushings, wheels and tires tend to wear faster on that side.
In Japan and UK it is the reverse.
Road crown and castor/camber differences focus more force on the right side..........most cars are tuned to drift right to help minimize head on collisions.

Yeah, I've noticed that the right front wheel gets the dirtiest from the brake dust and road grime. The front wheels also get dirtier than the rears because the front brakes always work harder and they are stronger up front (4-piston calipers on the fronts, 2-piston calipers on the rears).

Re: Everyone with a 6MT: Bremboooooo
If I was landing on carriers it might be different, but I haven't washed my bird (PA28-140) in months since I got my G. I'm not current IFR anymore, and I went 4 months before 50 hours for the oil change. My G really has a hold of me!
BTW,
I have non-Brembos and I swear, I was thinking that my DRIVERS side wheel in the front always seems to be much dirtier. I figured since the drivers side was heavier, that brake had to work harder, but I could be imagining things.
