Buy some Ceramic pads next time you do your brakes,itll save you a whole bunch of time cleaning your wheels.I had to replace my rotors at 20000 miles because one was warped,so I added some crossdrilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads.No brake dust!!.Awesome.

Between a good chrome polish/sealer and NAPA ceramic pads. I don't have a break dust problem any more. All I need is a quick rinse and I'm good to go.

Yup. The Top-of-the-line NAPA pads are the Raybestos Ceramic pads - NO DUST. Had them on my '02 - with new rotors (the "better" ones from NAPA) braking was fantastic, too![?]
