I use this to clean the whitewalls between washes. Works great and it's cheap.
As far as brake pads, I get MUCH less dust since switching to organic pads from Hawk Engineering.

I have noticed that the brake rotor side of my wheels gets considerably dirtier. It's definitely brake pad dust.

I also bought Lyndal pads from Hogpro. Yeah, they reduce dust and how frequently I have to clean my white walls. Even my narrow white walls.

+3 with Brillo Pad with my ol '06 RKC WWW's and current '09 Ultra Skinny WW's. I tend to purchase HD's dust free ceramic pads. The rear tire gets dirtier faster than the front tire so that's expected.

I dont have a problem cleaning them. It just pisses me off when I take a 50 mile trip and they are covered in a light film of brake dust. I'll give the Lyndalls a try. Thanks

The Z+ have less dust and last at least 2X the stock pads. Ron
