Do you guys take the wheels off to wax?

Have you thought of switching brake pads ? it does make a differance. AXXIS make a very good low dust pad. EBC's green stuff is good to start but gets grimy as it wares.

less dust= easier to clean

I had those on my E36, I loved them. Good stopping power, no squealing, minimal dusting.

Just so you guys know, BMW now collects pads and rotors when they are replaced under warranty.

You don't need to but you'll miss a few spots if you don't. I personally left mine on but was able to reach everything that's visible. It's not perfect but it was 98 F outside and I wasn't going to fight it.

The wheel wax makes a big difference - nearly all the dust simply rinses off with a hose.

Does the wax help with dog urine? Man I have such a serious problem with break dust and dogs...

And I can't always clean up afterwards
