Front Brake dust
 

Anyone experiences more brake dust on the front wheels than the rear wheels? Is this normal or should I bring back to dealer to check?

Many thanks!

for normal braking yah.. but if you have VDC on and lead foot the car you might have more dust on the rears.

Most of your braking power comes from the front and the front brakes are much larger :tiphat:

Seems obvious, really.:driving:

Yes. But I'd like to keep this from becoming my350Z

definitely

I'm not familiar with my350Z. I assume that once 350s depreciated enough it became a haven for teens and 20-somethings who know **** about cars?

Truth through basic physics.

yah, then you will know why i keep asking G35C owners to please retire their cars already. lol

Try using this every now and then:

to spray your face with dirty soap suds? :ugh:

i hate that brush...

Long Handle Boars' Hair Wheel Brush - Griot's Garage

this is wat i use.

I just use basic wheel cleaner and a hose, but I never let it build up... I'm kind of OCD about my vehicles that way.

Yes. Essentially the whole forum is, yo dawg, looks at my wheelz, then a bunch of morons giving each other crap advice or bashing/trolling just to bash/troll

yah, i just qd my car including the wheels after a nice drive.

:eekdance:

I plasti-dip all my wheels and then I simply peel it off when brake dust accumulates. Then, simply re-plasti-dip and problem solved.

You are welcome.

OP, to clean your wheels get some Simple Green, dilute it however you want (I pour a few ounces in a bucket of water, and clean your wheels. I haven't seem any wheel cleaner clean wheels like Simple Green. (I use Simple Green HD or pro or whatever now; it's $3-4 more than the regular one at Home Depot)

:tup:

I daily drive my 2010 Nismo with the factory Nismo wheels, for weekends
and car shows on go a set of Work Wheels. I bought these brake pads
from Z1 Motorsports. They produce very little brake dust and run quiet,
They are not for tracking your Z and are not a high performance pad.

60,000 miles and drive my Nismo every day of the week....



370Z / G37 (Sport) Centric Posi Quiet Brake Pads

the dusting on the Z's factory pads is nothing comparing to euro car brake dust and my G's original brembo pads.

What makes you think I only have one brush for my rims :). I have three: 1. The one I showed that gets in there "all deep like" 2. One like you shown for the outside 3. Horse hair brush to get into the lugnuts and caliper.

I also QD the car body daily with a microfiber :)

yah i dont usually clean the barrel of the wheel unless i remove it off the car
and use that long handle boar's hair brush.

i swap wheels every season and only drive on dry days so it doesnt get that
dirty.

as for caliper i just wipe it with my damp detailing mf towel after cleaning the wheel. i hate dirty calipers.

Agreed,esp BMW & Mercedes Benz...our stock brake pads,is one of the least brake dusts,anyway,every 2 weeks,i used compressed air to blow off the dusts from the calipers.

Brake dust pro. Order it from amazon.com



Has an awful chemical smell to it BUT it works amazingly.

How does it compare with sonax?

I just wash them by hand with soap and water. Every 15k or so I will pull the wheel and was the backsides. OCD at it's best.
Years ago, one of my girlfriends called me Mr. Clean...LOL Not because I had a bald head either.

I much prefer this also comes with its own storage cap .

If you don't like brake dust make sure you never buy the ds2500 pads. I just put them on the front and every 4 days I have to wash my whole car due to the dust. The front silver wheels become crimson red, my door jams have the red dust in them and leave a pink hue along the jam and the rear wheels are pink from the brake dust coming off the front wheels.

I can stop on a dime though.

I run Hawk HPS and have been for years on a few cars. They have little to no dust.

Here's my wheel cleaning bucket. 5 brushes total. OCD... I know. I should see a doctor about this.

No dust! Nice. My Carbotech pads leave the wheels another color.

Its very easy to clean your "Sport or Nismo Wheels" on the car. The 19' allows for a hand w/micro fiber towel to clean inside the barrel. I hand wash 3 times a week and with every wash comes 15 more minutes of rim cleaning time to ensure wheels stay fresh and clean from brake dust inside and out. I've had good luck with OEM pads.

Jeezus... Just use some Simple Green. You won't need half that shít anymore

I have a gallon of Simple Green too! :)

Simple Green....definitely.
