I`ve gone to a Brembo GT 8 pot caliper and there is not alot of manufacters sofar in my research that make a lower dusting pad that fits the 8 pot caliper. Hawk HPS (my street pad of choice) will fit for my rear 4 pot caliper but not the fronts.



So for now....I`ll be running very VERY Dusty pads.

Quick test shows that with less than 3 days of use, and just a quick spray with APC 4:1 with no agitation, and a strong rinse is not going to cut it at all.



The inner barrels are completely dirty with brake dust already.



I do plan routine wise to probably do the inner barrels every 2 weeks with the powersticks . However, the wheels are most definitely going to need a more frequent cleaning regimen.





For those in similar situations, what would be your wheel cleaner of choice ? Have to do a little research on very mild-mild acid based cleaners I would consider using ....on a daily basis.

I`m sure you`ve already done this, but just to cover everything, have you sealed the wheels with a wheel sealant?

On a side note, those are some massive calipers though, what kind of car you running them on.
