Ceramic Pro on the wheels works great as well!

This is why I ordered black wheels ...

So they can hide brake dust that eats wheel materials, wheel coatings and potentially your car's paint?

Yeah, it's real bad on mine. I can wash and detail the car/wheels and after one round trip commute to work (120 miles) my front wheels are covered in crap. It's frustrating for sure. New pads are definitely in my future.

If you want to stop the dust, get new pads talked about here.

if you want to make the brake dust come off easy with a hose, do this, absolutely the EASIEST way Ive treated wheels after working with tens of waxes and other stuff over the years:

+1! Btw, I am in love with the hydro2 stuff!

I need to find a little sprayer to fit my bottle of hydro2. Did yours come with one?

No it did not but I went to WM to the gardening section (some over at the hair related area too), they have 10+ kinds of empty spray bottles. I got 1 for the hydro 1 for rinseless, 50 cents and a dollar.

Hydro2 needs a fine wide mist, small bottle like this:

lol Yep, saves a lot of detailing/cleaning which is something I hate. Never had any of the carnage mentioned by the fellow that posted after you. Could be I've been dodging bullets though...

THANKS SledgeHammer ... I am definitely gonna change the pads to ceramics ... but I will surely try the "wheel waxing". I'm getting a ton of dust from simple driving and I know to properly drive a stick-car (using the trans to slow the car)

One month on Powerstop pads and Hydro2

No wipe, no wash, no dust...Barrels still shiny..

BrianL · 10-12-2016, 04:46 PM

What is the difference in the PowerStop Z26 extreme series & the Z23 mentioned earlier in this thread? The web site doesn't really show any quantitative data to compare the two.

Any benefit for going to the Z26 for spirited street driving & reducing the dreaded dust/squeal with the Brembo 4 pots vs the Z23 series?
