Brake pads - To reduce brake dust

Has anyone changed the brake pads on the 997 TT big reds to reduce the brake dust.
Its seriously getting to be a pain to clean the wheels.


Thanks in advance.

Im not sure about the product for 997TT, I've try mintex red for my 996TT. It really reduce the brake ducts but they noisy like hell. At the end, I've go back with factory pads.

Looks like you exchanged your rims. The one positive aspect of the standard rims is the dark grey paint in the interior areas of the rims, does not show brake dust nearly as much as my old 996tt rims.

Easy: get on our order page, get a bottle of Rejex. Treat the wheels twice over a two week period. Piece of cake.

Eric,

Dumb question but what is Rejex?? Where can you get it? I just got some wheel wax and waxed the wheels which helps a little with the brake dust...but it is a pain (both wax and dust!). I clean my wheels with P21 just about every week when I wash the car, found that using a blower to dry off the water from the rotors right after cleaning helps with the rotor rust which ends up being slung on the inside of the wheels.

Thanks,
Mike
