btw: I just did a 10 minute between-wash body detail with Griot's Speed Shine and then five minute wheel cleaning. There's no doubt ceramic-composite low dust pads would be easier (albeit potentially less braking performance than dusty OEM) but not really much effort. In the time it took to post .....

On my 20's with all the nooks and crannies

1. Clean well
2. Apply Armor All Wheel Protectant, let sit overnight
3. Periodically, Blow out brake dust with small home use compressor with air gun tip
4. Use a swiffer to clean up any spots

Every month or so repeat process.

Results - 95% clean wheels !!!

Granted, I am not as picky with 100% clean everything as I once was.

The EBC pads that are recommended in their catalog for 2015+ were definitely incorrect. Returned them already and had to splurge for an AP Racing setup.

The stock pads were demolished from two track events last year.

If Carbotech can find the backing plates, I could probably have them build some.
