Cheers Ean

Yep know the feeling

So I fixed it by -

As the Rolling Stones sing / I want it "Painted Black"



I was sick and tired of having to wash them every week, now I can leave them weeks on end and you can't tell they are dirty.
I sprayed them with PlastiDip but you could get them powder coated if you want.

Dustless pads?
If you can get them, they work a treat, barely any residue from them at all/

Off topic I know Rich, but I like that look. How durable has the PlastiDip coating been?

For road wheels its fine, I wouldn't use it on my off road set as
they get scrapped often.

I'm saving for a set of black 20" or 18s if I can stretch, I've got the 3.0l so can't get standard 18's.

It's up the beach a fair bit, so I think the plastic dip is out of the question though if I get any more frustrated, I might give it a go.

I've never heard of the tea option though

Akebono ceramic brake pads will cut most of the dust/steel residue out.
