Default goodbye brake dust

Just switched from oem to brembo TS20 pads. With oem, my wheels were completely covered with brake dust after just one drive. With these new pads, I'm going weeks without feeling the need to wash my wheels (and car). When I do wash, the brake dust just slides right off. With oem, I had to manually remove with cleaner. Performance and feel is very similar to oem. They were slightly noisy the first few hundred miles, but now are 100% quiet. I've also been told they hold up fairly well to some light track use. Highly recommend these pads!

Sounds great! But your car looks like a 997. You in the right forum? Which model do you have?

Centric Posiquiets generate very little brake dust and a set only costs about $100.

Did you change the calipers or do they fit 991 OEM calipers?

The Brembo website says: "TS20 are offered for a select range of OEM Brembo caliper shapes"

Endless MX72 don't dust for me either, plus they have more bite and make less noise than my OEM pads ever did. Funny how so many aftermarket pads are superior to OEM pads in almost every way.

Lexvan, can you expand on the armor all.. Does it let you just rinse or must you still lightly clean ? Lasts a month ? 2 weeks ?

Well, it makes wheel clean-up much easier, since far less brake dust is sticking.

It lasts a very long time, if you don't drive in the rain. Even then, it's still very effective.

I buy at Walmart.

As a base-coat on my wheels, I use Optimum Gloss Coat. This is very helpful, too. Then I top after each washing with the AAO. OGC is about $90 for a 20cc syringe on Amazon. Enough to do 4 wheels completely, and the big reds.

Here is my dirty front wheel, after over 2,800 miles, and no washes for over 2 months. Probably no rain, either.
