Default Brake dust

One of the more annoying things I have noticed about my 4000Q (I've noticed this on other Audis also) is the incredible accumulation of brake dust on the alloy wheels. I'll diligently wash them with wheel cleaner and a toothbrush; only to have it look like crap a week later. Can annoying tell me what it is about Audi brakes (in particular) that cause this, and is there anything I can do to slow down the accumulation process?

it's your brakepads. Try Mintex Redbox pads. Almost no dust.

Default Where can I find Mintex Redbox pads? ...

And roughly what do they cost?

In addition, I'm not from the state of New Jersey the user name happens to be a Donovan song I always liked - come on, you remember him...
