X5-Carbon is on a distinguished road
I think CS is supposed to last quite a while and I've already done my wheels, so I'll either have to wait or strip the wheel with dish detergent.

But, good info. Maybe I'll try a test too, but use a different product on each of the four wheels.

Regardless, there's a LOT less brake pad dust on the X5 compared to my Q7 and Q5. But both have 5-spoke wheels that are easy to clean. Every Audi I've owned is TERRIBLE with brake pad dust. My X5 wheel is a nightmare to clean, but I really like the looks of them and they're fairly unique, so I'll live with it.

Yeah, I really like the look of the 214 wheels, but did not want to go to larger/lower profile tires. When I cleaned the wheels the first time I was really glad I had the standard five-spoke wheels!
