In Reply to: "Green" pads, Aquapel posted by harry on July 14, 2001 at 08:16:00:


I've heard of a "green" brake pad said to be dustless. What are they, do they work, where can they be bought, how much?
Has anyone tried Aquapel on windshield?

I have the EBS "green stuff" (which I believe you are referring to) pads on my 535 Dinan. They
do produce less dust than the BMW pads, however they are far from "dustless". Most pads that say dustless really mean "less dust than stock".

I have tried just about every type over the years as I hate dirty alloys on a nice clean car. Basically the harder/more metallic the pad, the less dust, but as you go more metallic, they are less suitable for street use. Its a trade off- I would try a couple of diff brands and see what suits your driving needs best, but dont think you'll every obtain "dustless" pads.
