Is there an end to black dust on my wheels..Low dust brake pads?

I can't stand the black dust on my Techart wheels 1 day after cleaning my wheels. I am trying to find a low dust brake pad. On my M3, I have PBR/Axxis that don't dust at all. just minimal dust, not like the Black dust on the Porsche.

has anyone had experience with these pads on Porsche?

1) Pagid (black ones for street use)
2) PBR/Axxiss
3) Hawk

Thanks.

wow, i just got an email from a online store that i sent inquiry .

here is what he said.


I would probably recommend the Mintex "Red Box" Brake pads. They should lower
your dust, whithout compromising the performance you are used to. The front
part # is D 997 MTX and the rear part # is D 996 MTX.

Thanks,
Jeff

have you also tried the michelin brake dust repellant? I haven't tried it and I have doubts about it but I don't think Michelin would release a product that would make a fool out of themselves.

Also, try polishing/waxing the wheels.. I did a comparison by polishing the Front Left wheel and not polishing the Front right wheel and boy, what a difference..

I have polished but sooner or later (few days) the black

annoying dust will stick to outer and inner sides.
Can't wait til Saturday..

I used the PBR/Axxiss pads on the BMW

and let me just say 1 less worry about dust. I didn't know about mintex at the time i bought the PBR but PBR has been very nice so far. There is no black dust on my wheels , even after 3 weeks of driving the car. It's just a light clear film of dust. (not black)
