My ongoing battle with brake dust continues. Is there anything that can be done? My shiny clean wheels are filthy after only a couple of days. Is there aftermarket pads that will make a difference?
There must be something we can do!!!!!!!!!!!
I just hate a dirty truck

I've heard that Raybestos pads (at PepBoys) leave little brake dust on the rims.

The Raybestos brakes do help. I'm waiting for my brakes to wear out so I can put those on next. (Believe it or not, I have 40,000 miles and the brakes look and perform just fine) Until then, I guess it's just the nature of the beast.

That's what i've got waiting for my truck in the old toolbox. A set of Raybestos pads and shoes. I was going to change them this last weekend but decided to wait until this Saturday instead.
48800 miles and still on the original pads/shoes/rotors/drums.

I have used the raybestos pads on my sons camaro(he was hard on brakes) and they helped tremendously. I think they were ceramic,not sure but I do remember they were about $50.00 for front pads. Thats what I plan on putting on my 1999 dakota when it needs it.

I'm ordering Kleen Wheels soon, they basically are brake dust shields that fit inside the wheel and "supposedly" enhance brake cooling. Tired of damn brake dust!

I battled brake dust for 2 1/2 yrs. so I purchased a set of APEX brand kevlar brake pads for around $40 and a set of crossed drilled rotors for around $60. Been installed for about 6 month and not a spec of dust. It's a miracle.
