I'm always cleaning my rims. I'll clean them and like 2 days later they'll just have all sorts of brake dust on them. I use really good metal polish. Does anyone know of really good brake pads that will have a very minimal amount of dust that comes off?

Ok. I just won't use the brakes anymore. Maybe I should get the race car seatbelts though. I really do try to not use them excessively.

Yeah, using seatbelts excessively can be hazardous ;)

Seriously though, it's going to be hard to get dustless. You could set a shop vac in your trunk, get a long hose, splice it in two, and run them up behind the calipers and have it suck the dust into the vac, but that's a bit...um...extreme, not to mention expensive ;)

I have 17in. Enkeis. I have Yokohama tires too but I hate them because I always get mystery bubbles in them and I have to buy new ones. This will be the 3rd time this has hapenned in a year and a half. That's horseshit.
