Ok im sure this is a problem for some people and not just me, but how do i make my brake dust to a minimum? My dodge dakota is the worst when it comes to brake dust! I can detail my truck and then the next day the front wheels are COVERED in it!!! what do some of you guys use to prevent this or minimize it?

Wash your wheels everyday.

All brake pads cause brake dust, some worse than others. I have Thermo Quiet brake pads and they're pretty fuckin awesome, I highly recommend them.

buy low-dust pads. They cost more but I hear they work.

eh but ive seen there is some cleaning stuff that deflects the dust and wondering if anyone used it

I've never tried it but maybe has potential. None of my car's get bad brake dust so I have no need for it. A guy I work with randomly gave it to me one day so I'm not out anything. If you want it PM me your address and I'll send it down.

I've never seen good results from a spray on dust shield, though some people swear by it.

We never got my buddys dakota to stop creating to much dust =/

Forget all the crappy sprays. You should run a ceramic pad.. Very little dust if any at all on a DD. I run the Hawk ceramic pads and I get little to no dust at all. Unless I go autoxing then I'll get a very light shade of dust..Just go with the ceramic pads from the parts store and you should be good..
