  1. Thanks guys. I don't understand BMW, well most German builders, using the brake pads they use other than the great braking performance. I had changed the pads on the last BMW to Akebono pads and while the dust was minimal the initial braking and modulating were no where near the stock pads. So I guess I will just have to bite the bullet and visit the local car wash and power blast those things between the regular washings at home.
  2. I'm sure everybody just missed me so much, not. Anyway, I sold the BMW and downsized to a MINI Cooper S. Great little car with the turbo motor. As usual the mod bug has already bitten and I got a new set of wheels. They are silver painted and clear coated. Before I had the tires mounted I cleaned the wheels and put on two coats of paint sealer. After two days of driving the brake dust looks like I hadn't done anything to protect the wheels from collecting the dust. I know BMW brake pads are famous for the dust they produce. What else can I do to keep the dust from sticking to the wheels? Here's the baby with her new shoes,
  3. I went to a demo that a member of another forum I frequent had. I noticed that he had an old bag like the ones pictured in this thread but it is black and yellow. He said he used it when he was doing mobile detailing and I could have it if I wanted. I'm like YES, I'll take it. Got home used some APC on it and it looks like new.
  4. sigh... no love for us windows mobile users again.
  5. daymn, i thought I had that pic taken off the interweb.
  6. I'm short, fat, bald and ugly but I have a nice car. I would post a picture but all the cameras break when they try to take my picture.
