Power Stop Z36 as well.

Almost no brake dust.

Stops as well or better than OEM. Smooth as butter!

No rust on rotors at all. I back out of a steep driveway each morning. With the Power Stop Z36 carbon ceramic pads and slotted disk setup, never a problem with surface rust. (1st brake application of the day would normally be a problem with surface rust on the rotor, at least in reverse at slow speed. )

I have had an ongoing problem with rotor build up, commonly known as warped rotors. Not anymore.

So far one of the best upgrades I have done. And not expensive if you shop around.

This was for my PSD EX 4x4. Not a late model Superduty.

I prefer to use soap and a brush or rag. I used spray on wheel cleaner on my prior truck. It caused problems with the brake pads. After that, I never spray anything in the vicinity of my brakes.

For my WeatherTech mats I hit them with a power washer and then use simple dishwashing soap and a brush. The power washer gets most of the stuff off, but doesn't leave the mats looking clean.

Simple Green causes (bare, uncoated) aluminum to oxidize. I recall a story of some military helicopter servicemen being restricted from using it aboard their aircraft. I used to use it to clean what were polished aluminum rims on a GT40 kit car, but turns out I liked the oxidized finish better.
