Have had the Posi-Quiet pads on for over 24 hrs now and the wheels look as clean as they did 24 hrs ago.
That is a first.

Great improvement!

Also I tried the new Meguiars Hot Rims All Wheel cleaner - probably the best wheel cleaner I have tried. I did lightly brush the rims and the grime "liquified" almost instantly.

Luckily I wont have to use it very often .....now

 

Yes, we all know how the front wheels will go almost black after a week of driving with the factory pads. After a single weekend of track time with the factory pads my rear wheels were almost black with brake dust - you can imagine what the fronts looked like! After installing the Posi-Quiets and then doing another track day, the front wheels were dirty but really not bad at all. And stopping power didn't appear to be compromised at all. Nice upgrade.


And Meguiar's All Wheel Cleaner is very good stuff indeed. I'd been using Meguiar's Wheel Brightener from the pro detailer line with the factory pads but no longer need to.

 

Sounds like a winner, where can you buy these? I need some bad, I can't keep my aftermarket rims clean of brake dust, plus I want to keep the performance.

 

Very reliable seller:

Also carry the rears if you want those too - Buy as a set for a discount

 

That's where I got mine and, lucky me, they are local to me so I just picked them up. All 4 corners for under $100 and installed them myself - very easy to do.

 

Just my $.02 - I'd stay away from the caustic wheel cleaners since they can damage the clear coat and eventually paint, even though they say "clear coat safe"

I'd stick with a non-caustic wheel cleaner (I'm partial to Griot's and it's biodegradable)

but this is best for the Detailing thread I guess...

 

Thanks for this thread and the ebay link im ordering mine now.

 

Generally I agree, but Meguiar's All Wheel Cleaner is very mild - I wouldn't worry about using it a couple of times a week, not an issue. But the Chrome Wheel Cleaner will destroy painted or aluminum wheels in a heartbeat. Just make sure you're using the right tool for the job.

 

To you guys that did new pads but did not replace rotors did you have your stock rotors turned?

I have 3500 miles and am trying to figure out if i want to leave them or turn them...it wouldnt take much.

 

That's about what I had on my car when I put the new pads on and did not turn the rotors. No issues at all and, as I've mentioned before, the car has been tracked since then so it's been pushed about as hard as possible.

 

Same here

 

Guys, my pads just arrived but i will not be able to install them on the car for sometime. I would like to make sure i got the right ones.

I receive 2 boxes, with the following part numbers:
104.06820
104.06030

Is this correct for the SRT6?

 

Correct parts.
104 is the code for Semi Metalic Material
06820 Front
06030 Rear

 

Thanks a bunch!

 

Less dust is great, but how are they on rotors? Do they wear the rotor out faster than stock pads?

I don't mind cleaning off the grime if the trade off is that low-dust pads will chew up rotors.

 

If there is increased wear it is not noticable.
(I also have these on the Mag SRT8)
