That's why I got the new white teflon brake pads...the dust is white and matches my wheels.

Nice, I'll have to pick one of those up. I'm trying to compile a list of stuff to get for washing/detailing my new car. Any more suggestions?

Not sure if it's by Castrol, but they still sell it at Autozone. And here were the brushes by Black Magic.

Yeah, it is a little stiffer than the other brush, but I use the small one for the inside rim (where the wheel weight are) so I could really clean the brake dust off. It just irritated me that the face of my wheels were really clean but the rim itself was still caked in brake dust.
