i've just got off the phone to Andrew at yozzasport, he was very helpful. I've decided to get new lines, fluid and pads, the only problem being whether to go for the PF97s or the DS2500s. Bascially, as those of you who were at bedford will have seen, i'm not very good at keeping my car clean, so i'm worried about what the dust will do to my wheels. Nik - how often do you clean yours, and is it hard work when you do it. Can people also recommend a decent brake dust cleaner for me?

Ref - Dust - Fred swears by fairy power spray to clean them. The dust is quite potent, but they are trackpads at the end of the day - they are abrasive, they stop you better, they produce dust.

Dcw .... yours wheels are dark...Try cleaning the silver feckers!
Get your self a jet wash compressor. Kersher (sp??) or homebase do cheepies.
Try not to use and wheel cleaners as they are 2 harsh and will eat into the alloy.
I take mine off a few times a year to clean em, then wax inside to stop the dust sticking.
They really are the worst rims to clean tho.
hope this helps iain

Keeping the wheels waxed will help a bit, but some of the dust just wont jetwash off.
It's not like the dust from any normal brake pads, you dont stand a chance of getting it off without using chemicals of some sort (fairy powerspray really does work!).

any one know if fine sand paper will help? Mabye 1000 grit wet and dry?
Nik, have you found any of the dust stuck to your door's? When i ran the PF's with OE 182 rims i noticed it on the wheels but not the bodywork, then i changed to rota slipstreams (very open wheel) and discovered that the dust found its way to my paintwork!! Was not impressed lol

The side of my car is now quite dirty from brake dust and tiny bits of rubber, but i've found it washes off the paint ok. I've not really noticed it sticking to the painwork.
The bedford track could benefit with a sweeper doing a few laps, it was very dirty this weekend. The front of my car has a dust / rubber / lotus oil mix all over it.
