hey mate ...

first photo is the Acclaims rim after travelling down to Canberra, then back via bathurst.

Overall by that stage we had rarely braked as most was highway kays, so brake dust was a minimum.

However I then had the car in Sydney peak hour for 4 days and thats when the rims became really dusty. You can see at the top left of the rim where I ran my finger down it after getting back from the Canberra to Bathurst trip, so everything thats ontop of that mark has happened in 4 days of peak hour, low speed start/stop traffic

The second photo was taken shortly after washing the Adventra. The rim where tyre meets rim is dirty and crappy and I'll admit I didnt clean that too well because I was in a bit of a rush. But the face of the rim was spotless. I drove it down the block to refuel, was only light on the brakes, get back and, well, you can see the results.

I'm not going to lie to you, with the number of people who tell me these pads are virtually dustless I have to wonder where have I gone wrong on both these cars, or is my idea of dustless (or near dustless) different to everyone elses?
