  • Brake Dust!

    im sure this has come up many times, but is there anything we can do about that brake dust on front wheels. ive heard of dustless brakes? do they solve the problem?
    its the biggest pain in the ass cleaning them. twice a week i have to clean jus the wheels. and then polish them every now ans then

    Agreed - the brake dust is horrible! The stock wheels are tricky to clean also! When i first got mine home i pulled all the wheels off and cleaned the inside of them - it was horrible!!!! But looked much better when i was finished, this way with the weekly wash they stay quite clean!

        Accumulating brake dust on your wheels is inevitable. You could possibly lessen the amount of brake dust accumulating on to the wheels and make it an easier job of cleaning by coating the wheels with a good amount of wheel wax. Applying once every 5 washes or so will help with the build up of brake dust.

            Rotors

            I've got cross drilled/slotted rotors.

            My fronts are cleaner than the backs by the end of the week...

              Yes, I had them on my A3T.
