Brake dust

[Bonnie and Clyde]

Is it just us or do all cars with AP's suffer really badly with brake dust????????? I've driven to Wales and back and the wheels have a rust coloured fine powder film on them Is this normal??????

You find that happens when you use the brakes... Give them time to bed in to.

TBH you are most likely braking alot harder than before as the AP's are sooooo much better.

Yeah ive found the same they do kick off loads of dust compared to the std brakes!

I find grooved discs make this worse.

yeah dust more than standard brakes. Just use a good alloy wheel sealant to reduce the dust build up.

AP brake discs have a higher iron content, they go rusty very quickly and therefore you will see a lot more brown "dust".

Tell Col you are popping out to wax your rims.

If they use DS2500 brake pads you will find them really dusty, however, this dust in my experience is friendly compaire to some brake pad compaounds
