I thought I had an excessive amount of dust, but then again I never had nice wheels. So i could be over reacting, Im also kind of a neat freak when it comes to Amber.. lol thats her name...

 

I know exactly what you mean. I try to wash my car twice a week, and even doing that my wheels are full of brake dust. Along with the fender wells and other things. Maybe it's time for new brakes/brake pads.

 

As Wiz noted on an earlier thread, they may come standard with ceramic pads which create almost no dust.

 

Strange.. I havent seen any dust yet. Must be the pads which from what I can see are OEM..

 

In 2006 GM changed braked pads to help reduce brake dust and brake wear

 

Well im sure 30,000 miles on mine they have been changed with non ceramics..

The system provides more stopping power and reduced stopping distances, as well as smoother and quieter performance, longer pad life, and more resistance to brake pulsation.

It also includes Electronic brake force distribution, which helps provide optimum braking regardless of load, traction or braking speed.

Gabe, I have 31k with the oem pads and they are just fine!

 

got just about 35,000 on mine and they're still good.. . just had my dealer's service tech check them at my last service a few weeks ago...
