I also just noticed the brake dust on the front wheels but I'm getting in the habit of having my little guy cleaned every Saturday or Sunday. Gosh he cleans up well.

Is there an echo in here??? However, nobody has yet found a source for ceramic pads. It would be high on my list, since I hate brake dust almost as much as I hate streaky windshields!
