Default Brake dust works quick!

Just a word of warning ! Wipe that brake dust off them cast wheels or change the pads when new. Put my first new rear tire on today. I am surprised about the surface damage. I thought I was keeping them clean.

They say change your pads to Lyndalls and that eliminates the brake dust altogether. I'm getting them next time I change pads.

Lyndalls make a lot less mess for sure! I've got them on front and back now.

The metallic content in th OEM pads is what cause the pitting. Lyndalls will eliminate the problem. So will EBC Kevlars.
