I wash it once a week if it's fairly warm..... less often with this weather. I've just heard of pads that will eliminate the dust problem. Hawk pads? Are they pretty good about not making a mess?

I know Napa has the Ceremix brand that "virtually eliminates" brake dust.

The less performance oriented ones tend to dust less. Hi-po brake pads tend to dust a lot.

I wish mine worked better. These things scare me. But on a side note they don't dust hardly at all.
