    Brake Pad Dust Resistant Waxes

    Hey Guys, this may have been bought up before, but, i have all white wheels and obviously brake dust is a real issue. Short of changing out my (brand new) pads, any advice for reducing the amount of dust settling on my wheels? Or at least some recommendations for a good wax to make cleaning easier? I literally drive around the block and wheels are covered!
    Cheers!

That was a month ago and so far I'm happy. The black brake dust washes off very easily. When the wheels are hosed the water beads. The treatment is supposed to last 6 months - we'll see!

    Why not fit the ATE Ceramic pads and have no dust and no mess in you driveway, if you wash car at home?
    I've fitted ceramic pads to all our cars and when I wash a car, I don't even touch the wheels, they're that clean that I just rinse them with water from high pressure cleaner.

    Transporter, what's the performance of the ATE Ceramics like? I've heard their braking ability isn't as great as non-ceramics?

    I had them on my CC with ATE discs as well. They were absolutely fine, and I usually push the car a bit. They were silent and dustless.
