The ultimax pads I have on at the moment are awful for brake dust. My wheels are black after any journey and its beginning to mess the paint up on the alloys.

So basic one,

What pads do you have on and what are they like for brake dust?

Ultimax only time I get real bad dust is on track.

Thats with grooved discs.

Wheels are cleaned roughly every 300 miles
