Brakes Dust (Can you bear with it?)

[Guest Tohal]

Boys & Girls,

We all know Mercedes is famous for brake dust and of course, we have it on our e-class coupe. The question is, how have you been dealing with it other than having clean it every other day?

1) Clean lor

2) Change rims with a colour that camoflage the brake dust

3) Change brake pads/change brakes

4) Use some "special" spray

[Guest nala]

I clean it every other day...

[Guest markcwq]

Have always wondered, do brake caliper covers help?

[Guest blackmercs]

Weekly wash will do or change the rims to black in color will helps too. Till date i havent come across good braking power pad with less dust.

ofcos no la!!! its pure visual appeal and nothing else.. probably a potential hazard because they are plastics and u dont know when they will get melted when lose under lots of hardbraking...

Doesn't seem to work well for my C180K. Brake dust still sticks to the rims after a few days of driving. The only good thing about this Wheel Protectant is it helps to make rim cleaning easier. But the effect doesn't last long. Wears off after about two washes.

Tried Permanon on my rims as well. Same problem. In fact, I think Wheel Protectant works better.

In the meanwhile, I just wash the rims on a weekly basis.

How about changing to to ceramic brake pads that supposedly reduces 99% of brake dust?

Seen so much discussion about Akebono ceramic brakes and Portefield low dust pads. But then again, dont think it is sold here in SG.

Hey guys, I took the advise. Tested.

Today's Day 3 after using ArmorAll Wheel Protectant.

Dont see much dust, they seems to have been grouped into bigger chunks. I suppose it's easier to clean.

Overall, my rims still looks shiny. I guess, must really follow the instructions on the spray can. Spray when the rims are DRY & CLEAN. I think this is a very important highlight.

Well done,bro!!

The downside is u have to keep buying n keep spraying the protectant.

As long as the rims r sprayed well, can keep the dust away for a week plus.

Feel happy for u!

[Guest nala]

Haha. Try la... it's definitely not a sustainable solution. See how long can it last.

Maybe change to black rims. Best.

Wow, didn't know that the brake dust problem is so bad. Weekly cleaning of the rims quite a chore... haha!

[jtang]

Check out the ATE ceramic brake pads available at Goldenlink Auto ( a local merc stockist). Been using them for 2 weeks....simply awesome! Bites better & no brake dust literally.

[goswimbikerun]

Does the ceramic pads wear off the rotors faster?

[rmjunior]

To cope with the brakedus on my C180K, I

1) Change to black rims

2) Use Armorall wheel protectant.

I would say that the wheel protectant helps.

[CH_OldMerc]

Any one tried "Akebono" Ceramic Brake pads ?

Any good?

Seems good reviews from USA / UK MB forums.
