Good lord, Rick. God bless ya for the ice-cream-on-wheels for your folks, but take the Raptor instead. Dairy products anywhere in the vicinity of the GT interior, despite your precautions, still makes my eye twitch[emoji6]

twitching eye …not enough coffee

I've posted this before about brake dust, but instead of using non-OEM brake pads, which appear inferior to the OEM brake pads, use Armor-All's Wheel Protectant. Not wheel cleaner, but wheel Protectant. I use it and 99 percent (WAG) of the brake dust just blows off the wheels while driving and does not stick. The rest of the dust, if required, I just hit with a blast of air or a blast of water and it's gone. No scrubbing required.

Ok so if it works pretty good I'll try it and then not need switching pads back and forth

It definitely works. I used it on the NOLA track during Rally 7 and compared my FGT's wheel brake dust with my partner's FGT and he couldn't believe how dirty his wheels were compared to mine. Some other Forum members have also had great success using it -- can't remember who right now, but you can do a Forum search to find out who they are if you're interested in finding out.
