Brake Dust
Is there a good wheel treatment that helps keep brake dust from sticking to the wheels? Ever since I changed from D90's to Cup Wheels, my front wheels get discolored by brake dust in about 2 days.

Lon,
I can't keep em clean fast enough either.....
I would place a real good coat of wax on the wheels. The brake dust washes off quite nice with water and soap.

I have heard of brake pads that do not leave so much dust. I used to use them in the old days, but forgot the brand. I am also suffering from the 2 day black wheels desease. I think they were called Repco's Any ideas?

EBC green stuff are meant to be low dust. Red stuff is super low?
Even with D90's this is a big problem for me - thinking of going to green stuff next. Anyone else any comments?
Other alternative is to run dark coloured wheels ...

I put on metal master pads up front a couple of months ago and have noticed a definite cleaner D90 wheel then whatever brand was on there before.
