Brake Pad Dust
Hi, I am a new Boxster owner - 2000. I can wash the wheels and after one time out they are covered with break pad dust. Are there any pads that do not produce the dust?

Pads that don't produce as much dust don't perform as well.
Get some car wax and wax your wheels. Less dust sticks and what does washes off really easily. Once had a Mercedes and the owners manual advised washing wheels once a week. All German cars use similar brake pads with similar dust.

Brake pad dust
As the Germans say, "do you want low dust or good brakes?" You can't have both.

There's an armour-all wheel spray that helps
