Interesting, will try it.As for the Brake dust, I tried the new Eagle One Keep Clean wheel spray. It really does work well. It is a spray on protectant for all wheels that doesn't allow brake dust to accumulate on a wheel. It is very noticable as to how well it works when you compare wheels with the spray and without.
I think he's referring to the product shown Here:http://www.eagleone.com/Is this the stuff?

Personally I use a product called ROLL-OFF. It's designed for getting the slime off fiberglass boats. Works good on brake dust. Wet the wheel, spray it on, let it sit a minute and spary it off. I'm going to try the eagle one and see if it works better or easier.

Does your wife have a 09 V and were they for the fronts, if it is a V? The rears have been available, the fronts are needed most. TIA, RogerWe just put Akebono's on my wife's car and brake dust went down probably 75-80%. They don't squeal either, which was a Huge bonus!

I wanted to try it, i have bought it but i was scared that after i spray it on the wheel it will ruin something or it will make me regret that i did. But since you are happy with it i will try it on my next wash which seems to be tomorrow or Sat morning.I haven't found any pads for the '09 car yet from the above listed manufacturers. When I called Hawk, they said they expected it would still be a couple of months until they have a pad avaialable for my car. As for the Brake dust, I tried the new Eagle One Keep Clean wheel spray. It really does work well. It is a spray on protectant for all wheels that doesn't allow brake dust to accumulate on a wheel.

I'm considering going the "less is more" route myself although I've always been a "more expensive is always better" type guy. I thought that I'd go for the Hawk HPS's, but have found that Advance Auto sells a semi-metallic by Wagner that's their top of the line pad, tipping the spend-o-meter at $62 for the fronts w/ a $15 rebate.This is gonna sound SICK.. but I was having the same issue on my Tahoe and G6.. I switched my Brake Pads to Advanced Auto's Friction Master Brake Pads.
They go for an entire week without kicking out any real brake dust... They are pretty inexpensive too...
The reason the rears are available is because it's the same pad that the SRT8's have been using for the past four years. Not so for the fronts.you might look here, got an e=mail back about the pads..... Rear only for now, as before fronts are on the way
