After some driving, the front wheels are completely covered in brake dust and is dirty and not shiny. Compared to the two back wheels theres a huge contrast. Is there a cheap over the counter solution the put on the wheels? I have the stock f sports wheels which i think are super nice with its black chrome. i just dont want to have to dust them off every week.

 

you can wax your wheels to make it come off easier next time, but thats a temp solution.
if it bothers you to the point of madness, most members here just change out the brake pad to something less dusty. the oem ones spew dust like crazy

 

This stuff buys you an extra day or two before the front wheels are covered in brake dust and look like crap. The brake dust is my only real gripe about the car. I am just going to replace the front brake pads.

 

Correction: The f-sport pads spew dust like crazy.

 

yea i have the low dust pads for daily, i swap out to f sport pads if i go to the track

 

Get some EBC Redstuff pads. They have great bite and very minimal dust.

 

The dust and the brake squealing is annoying as hell.

 

^^^^
The dust is absolutely horrible. And the brake squeal is even worse. These pads definitely aren't quiet unless very hot.

But, for stock brakes and a heavy car, they have some incredible stopping power. Btw I have a 250 with the chincy rotors and calipers and they are the best brakes I've ever owned, albeit dusting and loud.

 

I was told to have my wheels coated with Ceramic Pro or a similar paint sealant to protect them. The dust can be washed off with water. I also thought of waxing them, but again it's only a temporary solution

 

Easiest way to clean them is to used IronX. Spray on, let it sit for 5 minutes, wash off. Voila, you're dust free for a week.

 

Yep those front wheels always lookin dirtay

 

Brake dust is a common complaint with the F-Sport pads. I personally only noticed heavy brake dust in the first 1000 km or so. It was particularly bad with the Ultra White paint. The dust was easily noticeable on the edge of the factory 3M film on rear passenger doors. After that, I didn't notice it anymore on the body but it was still on the wheels. At least the F-Sport wheels are a dark multi-shaded chrome so it's not super obvious.

 

buy the low dust OEM pads

 

Anyone have part numbers for the OEM 350 Front pads/ Non F Sport.
The dust is horrible with the F pads.

2IS and 3IS 350 brake pads are the same. I actually had a low dust front set from my 2IS and put it in my 3IS, lot less dust for daily.
