The car is spotless, the wheels not so much, why so brake dusty?

Nothing annoys me more than brake dust.

Brake dust and people who brake in unnecessary situations

I use track pads on the street. If I clean them and then drive it around the block, there will be dust again. I sort of gave up and accepted that I will always have brown wheels.

The C5 has about 18k miles, so I imagine they are.

My pads are stock, I have no idea why there's so much. Grey wheels for me then, I'm annoyed but accept it.

Oh man that pisses me off to no end. People who brake when there is nothing and no one in front of them, people who brake on extremely gradual curves, people who brake when a car almost half a mile away brakes.

This is nothing compared to what M-compound brake dust can do to your wheels in a week!

I wash my car maybe once a month now, but those wheels need cleaning every Sunday.

You should see the wheels of my dad's V70 if you think that's dusty...
