PhilMeUp Member 1,045 Member For: 15y 9m 3d Gender: Male Location: Perth, Western Australia Posted 16/10/11 10:01 AM Share Posted 16/10/11 10:01 AM I'm running Hawk Performance ceramic pads on my 6/4 Brembo setup and am getting plenty of brake dust. I keep a 6 litre Hills weed sprayer bottle on my front porch with CT18 degreaser in it. I spray degreaser all over the rims and rub the dust off with a brush. Then I hose it all off. I do each wheel one at a time, so that the degreaser doesn't have time to dry on to the wheels and leave streaks. It's obviously easier to do if the car hasn't been driven for a couple of hours because then there isn't the heat in the wheel area to bake the degreaser and brake dust goo onto the rims.I generally wash the wheels two or three times each week, and they need it each time. I'm hard on brakes - if lower control arm bushes had civil rights then I'd be up on war crimes charges every day. This week I didn't get around to cleaning the wheels all week, so I had the entire week's worth of brake dust on the rims. The car gets a thorough wash/clean/vacuum every Sunday night/Monday sometime (ie after each weekend). So, there was quite a coating of ugly brake dust on the rims this afternoon. It's been bugging me all week, so I've just cleaned the rims in the front yard. Photos - taken a few minutes ago: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were off my old WRX after a track day. They were nearly brand new at the time. I was pretty disappointed with their overall performance.
