A brake dust test>>>
OK...edits added for clarity>>>
I want two things out of brake pads... performance first and low dust second. I have found over many years of experience that the Porterfield pads deliver both. Now to my simple demonstration..Sunday went out to Winchester Va (I live in northern Va and Winchester is considered to be "in the mountains")...put 72 miles on the odo and was mixed driving...highway, two lane mountain roads, car congested Reston Va roads... had to do two heavy braking episodes (idiot van and SUV drivers
) and some stop and go traffic and then normal driving/braking...and some nice higher speed runs
So after the drive I placed Mr Blu on the lift and cleaned front of alloys, all sides of the spokes and the inside of the alloys and here is the comparison/results (one cloth one side of cloth all four alloys):
Cloth before wiping off the alloys
Cloth after wiping off the alloys
And a rear alloy after wipe down..I have a fixation over keeping the alloys looking sharp
So simply showing that start off with clean alloys and after 72 mi of driving there was minimal brake dust thus the same cloth pic prior and after.
Someone with OEM pads try this test and you see the amazing diff is brake dust cleaned off..
Works for me

Not Clear
Michael,
It was not clear to me what you wanted to show. Is one cloth from a stock break pad – wheel wipe down? The other from the wheel with the new pads? Please edit. Thanks
