Those brake pad carbons are so annoying.. wash 1 day car, tomorrow can start to see the carbon all over the rims... how nice your cromed rim shine also a while can see all the carbon liaw.. sigh.. hate it..

anyway sifuz, is there any way we can get rid of it? change brake pads? or is there any cleaning materials that can be used? or any other suggestions?

so at least after wash car the rim will still look nice :)

using OEM wira a/b 1.3 brake pads... carbons are reddish in colour... now my whole rims... like... AIHH ~~ kena sembilih full of blood all over my rims.. kekeek

anyways.. anyone suggestion to make it clean and nice?

change brake pads.. however.. if u see those carbons.. means ur brake pad doing it's job ler.. no carbon means brake pad suda habis... i also fed-up with the carbons already.. reduce hard breaking so often la..so i brake less a bit :D

ohh.. another thing i've heard.. but haven't seen .. u can build your self a carbon pad shield or sumthing like dat... original front disc brake got that shield already.. but for the inside only.. u should notice one big steel plating behind those rotors.. but i just wonder.. if even u can build those shields facing d outside.. where the heck the carbons gonna go? :blink: hope dat helps.

carbons gonna go all over ur rotor... then braking power will be reduced... bad idea.. ehehehe..

sigh... looks like have to bear with it.. but just get very annoyed over the rims :angry:
inside and outside also looks damn dirty... ARRGGHH !!!

even changing brake pads will still have carbons.. however i still prefer the black carbon than the OEM brake pads reddish carbon.. sigh ~~
