First off, what the heck is this stuff?? I wash my car today with my new wheels/tires and there is this black stuff ALL OVER side skirts AND rear bumper!!

Looks like brake dust or something!! Maybe new tire dust, but they've seen over a hundred miles already, so I doubt it is still on the tires...




Ok, PICS!!!

Not sure what that stuff is - kinda hard to tell. Does it come off ok?

BTW - your links don't work. I think you have to be signed into Imagestation or something. When I click your sig I get pop-ups...ARGH!

 

links worked fine for me the second time around, try clicking them twice. btw, nice rims, not my style, but they look nice

 

Yeah it comes right off, just like dust would.. which is why I think it's brake dust *sigh* I just don't know how to avoid it.. are there dustless brake pads?? What about those EBC green pads? Or would I end up with green dust

It keeps coming back!! AHHH!!!! HELP HELP!!

 

I think its the silcone type stuff that comes on new tires that keeps them shiney!!Same as if you were to use tire wet or other tire shine product.Happens to me all the time!!!

 

I have a glacier pearl Max and the same thing happens too me. It is brake dust, and you cant do anything about it. I just make sure that area is well waxed so its easy to clean the break dust off.

 

Are you serious?? Damn that totally sucks..

What if we switched brake pads? Would that help?? (Please say yes someone!! )
