Spent a couple hours on, "search," here and did not see what I am looking for. Our new CX-5 has now 655 miles on it. Within the first 300 miles I noticed a lot of dark brake dust/residue on the alloy wheels. Didn't surprise me, except the extent of it. Seems more than I'm used to. So maybe they use soft pads......? Maybe after break-in miles it will diminish, but I doubt it. So I've found a good looking detail brush, ("EZ Detail Brush," about $25), on line. I will look for a gentle wheel cleaner, (maybe Meguiars), and pay attention. So question here is what cleaners do all of you use and do you stick with OEM pads when replacement is due or look for something not so dirty???? (I don't favor metallic because of rotor wear - I think they are cleaner)
Thoughts on pads, care, etc?
Thanks, Dennis
