this is kind of ironic cause i was going to start this thread today anyway but then i read a response in the feathering thread about this and it reminded me to do so, been pretty busy at work here. anyway to get to the point. i bought a redline coupe and thought that I would be safe from having to wash the damn thing twice a week like my last car. my soft spot for all cars is black, best color out there for sure, when clean, but in order to keep it like that you have to wash it at least twice a week. well my car now does alright for the red body, doesnt show the dirt that much, but what has sucked is the damn brakedust!!! holy crap! i cant go one week without that sh*t backing up rediculously. then god forbid you run through any kind of water and the brake dust should happen to run all over the place especially with the spinning of the tires. i thought my grand prix gtp was bad. this car is ten times worse, at least. oh yeah i have the touring model thus i should have the basic brakes. anyway, i know all about the fact that braking hard and over short distances effects all of this but overall i want opinions of others here on what to do and try and remedy this or to keep the wheels looking decent between washes.

 

Low dust break pads. I believe HKS makes the best ones.

 

There are 2 things you can do... 1. new brake pads. I have heard good things about the greenstuff pads. 2. Go to Zaino Bro's and get the Z2 polish and the Z6 spray. Clean and polish your wheels, then use a small amount of the Z6 on the rims. The spray reduces the static charge of the paint, which attracts the dust particles. You can then go about 2 weeks without massive buildup.

I had a Z3 that did the same thing, so it is not unique to the 350.

 

Replace the brake pads with Hawk HPS.
