I got my DC5 2 months ago from Torque GT, where the car was cleaned and prepared well for collection. The OEM brake pad does create dust but not much.
Before I change them to Project Mu HC+ 800 (Front), I only use the Engine Degreaser, water, wipe and fibre towel to clean them up. It took time but not much effort be honest.
After bedding the Project Mu HC+ 800 pads, the wheels and calipers are covered by dust, which is very common and normal, so I expected washing them regularly.
When I took the wheel off and tried to clean the Brembo Caliper, I am unable to restore it back to the previous state. The brake dust like baked on the caliper paint or else.
So far I have tried engine degrease, standard paint cleaner, brake cleaner (wipe off and clean by water quickly), autoSmart Wheel cleaner (soap 1-3 minutes before wipe them off with warm water).
However, none of them works so far. Sigh.
I did not want to keep trying like a voyager, so better ask the people here who got more experience to advise me please.
