No trouble at all, in fact I have covered 4400 Miles now and it looks as new, I have not put a wet-wipe on it yet, there are wet-wipe for leather wipes and I have them in apacket in the door pocket, unused as yet.

Hey John where do you get those from in the UK? I've looked here and can't find any and BMW aren't any help. All they offer me is a cleaning mousse.

Ceramic brake pads

Will Ceramic/metallic pads have the same or better stopping power?

Stay in touch with Dave Zeckhausen at zeckhausen.com. He knows his brakes.

I had Axxis Deluxe Plus pads on my X5 (I don't think they have any for the X6 yet) and they performed identically to stock pads (Jurid, I think) and had absolutely NO dust. None, zero. There was a slight difference in feel: the Axxis pads didn't have the same initial 'bite' that OEM pads have, but the overall stopping distance was the same. They also tended to squeal for the first couple of applications after getting wet, but that stopped as soon as they were dry. I would highly recommend them for anything except track use as soon as they have a size for the X6. As I said, check with Zeckhausen.
