Re: Break dust
Yes - suggest you look into a set of Rotex Gold pads. That will eliminate a great deal of your problem. The other thing you can do is get a decent wheel brush and get the backs of the wheels when you wash your car. I find that when I do the backs of the wheels it cuts down on what ends up on the front of the wheels. My wife can go a whole week in her Mercedes without much brake dust showing up on her front wheels.
