Default Brake dust

Anybody got an idea on how to make it NOT so severe. I have to wash my car everytime I drive it.[&:]

Since I have read about this problem many times, I have contacted Brembo for suggestions. Just did this on Friday. If I get a response, I will post it in this topic.

Also, Joani informed me that Mopar has a spray for the wheels that will last up to a year. I guess it is supposed to make the dust come off easier.

Does anyone have over 500 miles on their car and, if so, do you still have as much dust?

Good Luck,

Dave

I have right at 1200 miles, the dust thankfully decreases. For the first 500 miles I had to wipe the wheels off and use a car duster on the entire car after every time of driving it, so after work and then after my evening cruise. Now, just in between car washes.

Hey guys I've got about 550 miles on mine and I hardly notice any brake dust. I think mine is getting better because the first 300 miles I had to wipe the wheels off every time I stopped. I didn't notice any on the body, but I do have a black car.

Its the break in. Heres a tip, use a anti static detail spray made by Maguiars or Zaino on the wheels and body...
