Where is bro now? No videos from a long time.

Since tue last time I watched this video two years ago, I've been using Optimum Car Wax as my default protection for one and two step jobs. Definitely not the most "dramatic" water behavior waxes, like the Zymol Creame / Carbon that I had been using, but much more durable, economical, easier / faster to apply. As a drying aide with ONR, never an issue. I tend to be light with my applications, though. OCW is probably my favorite smelling product from Optimum as well.

Ceramic brakes are scary af. They dont stop on a dime. What good are brakes if they dont work when you need em?

Great video! After watching this, Im seriously considering getting ceramic brake pads because I recently changed my rotors and my pads on my Altima and got some new set of custom wheels and noticed as soon as I got my rotors and pads changed that I got a huge mess of brownish brake dust on my wheels especially on the fronts. Even after I ceramic coated my wheels, it still gives me a hard time to clean them. The ceramic coating does indeed slow down the process of the dust piling up better than without but it’s still very hectic to deal with. I know brake dust is normal, but a crazy mess of brownish/goldish dust messing up the look of my wheels is just insane. And they’re black wheels too. I’ve always considered getting ceramic pads but this video just solidified my mind to getting ceramic pads ASAP

I've tried ATE ceramic pads and found out they wore the disc much quicker. I prefer to pay for pads instead of discs so it was a no go for me. That was of course many years ago, the compounds may have changed.

Either cover your brakes with cloth or preferably remove the rims, clean them really well inside and out, dry thoroughly then use a dry film lubricant with PFTE/Teflon - I use WD40 personally and you'll find that wheels only need a quick hosing to get them clean again. I did try using a ceramic coat that I use on my paint, that works well too - though - for me, it didn't last as long as the WD40.

Imo using copper, iron containing semi metallic or organic brake pads depending on composition can lead to under laying rust and paint issues on most vehicles.

Less visible dust...OMG?

you aint lying, the ceramic pads dont stop like the OEM ones, less bite for some reasons, i was told it was because the rotors

Curious. Got a chance at a low mileage 2010 A4 Avant. Would you do it or avoid altogether? It’s a one owner, 13k mile car. Thanks!

I’m getting same code, but the flap opening arm is not popped out. What else could it be?

Nerd

What year is the car ffs

Awesome concise review buddy 👌 I have ATE pads (on ATE discs) and love them, just ordered a set for my second car

Ceramic are best for everyday driving, no squealing or brake dust. Easily to slow down from triple digits. You easily get 4 or 5 years of usage driving moderately.

..it will be a fun open wallet experience when I need to do my Scat packs brakes...cause I went full frontal 6 pot brembos lol, But eh. I shall were my Brembo Brake dust with pride.. SO I CAN STOP

I need information about my S8 D3 ceramic discs. Can I get aftermarket pads to match? Also, if I remove them, can they be replaced with steel discs easily or are there a lot of additional things to consider?

Do they last longer?

Semi-metallic pads have a large amount of graphite in them, to keep them from squeaking. That is where the black dust comes from. I got much better results from PBR Deluxe ceramics than you seem to be getting from whatever brand those are.

Your rear dust looks like the dust covering my wheels after 3 hours drive.

Ok I been doing A Research for the last couple of years and my final advice if you don’t want you Rims dirty just don’t drive you car any Cain of brakes pad is going to get into your car Rims

I use akebono ceramic break pads they never squeal and break dust is very little to none, just like with any other type semi ect all pads aren’t created equal lol

Can't hear shiiit!

I had the p2015 code. Did a ton of research and if your car doesn’t have warranty you will basically have to buy a new intake manifold. Cost about $1100 for parts and labor. The flaps go bad and leave gaps.

Good stuff. Love the attitude! Thanks, mate.

PAYING 2X THE PRICE TO AVOID DUST IS stupid as fUUUK

He wrong . Always use those pad have break dust . That’s mean pad are soft good stoping power and most importantly this soft pad easy on your expensive rotor . That’s why all oem break pad creat break dust . If you wanna keep your rotor for long time used. Those organic or ceramic pad

Thanks for the well put together video. I'll stick with OEM Semi-Metallic.

Ima get some for my vette...

I’ve spent more time than necessary trying to figure out whether ceramic or semi-metallic are the way to go and the most consistent information I’ve found is if you prefer a little more initial bite, marginally more stopping power, don’t care about dusting, and don’t care about having to replace your rotors each pad change go with an OE (for VW) semi-metallic compound otherwise ceramic is the way to go. Also, it’s wise to bed-in ceramic because I do think they primarily rely on adherent friction vs. abrasive friction semi-metallic I don’t really think it matters too much. Side note, I found this particular platform actually relies on the rear brakes more, I have a 2006 Jetta which should be the same, I notice my rear pads go out first.

The problem with this video is that there's a wide range of performance with ceramic pads depending on the manufacturer. You can't judge them based on your experience with just one brand of ceramic pads. And you didn't even mention what brand they are so this video really is pretty useless. There are incredibly good ceramic pads and there are terrible ceramic pads. One of the reasons for that the binders used are different. Remember, the ceramic material is just a small part of the brake pad material. The rest can be organic, semi-metallic or other materials. So, as I said, you can't generalize based on your experience with just one brand of ceramic pads. Check out Akebono ceramic pads, for example. Some claim they are the best pads in the world. At the very least, you should have mentioned what brand of pad your talking about. Are they cheap ones or more expensive ones from a company with a great reputation. All-in-all, that makes this video pretty useless. It tells people virtually nothing.

I’ve been using Optimum Spray Wax almost exclusively on my 2010 Volkswagen since I purchased it new in 2009. I don’t like using it as a drying aid, it just doesn’t work as well. What I do instead is use a fresh microfiber towel to push the water off of the car and get it mostly dry, and then apply it. With the car mostly dry it buffs off so effortlessly I use it almost every time I was the car. As for the car’s condition.... no swirling or light scratching to be found after 10 years and nearly 140,000 miles. This product protects quite well.

All this fuss and money we spend on polishing clearcoat. It's just funny.

I doubt that you switched to ceramic pads if they behave as you describe , your other video points out that you switched to ate ceramic brake pads , which is semi metallic with some small compound of ceramic in it, switch to entirely ceramic brakes like from EDC and you will see the difference

What kind of Audi is that ?

Why does everyone confuse us out here with saying Ceramic Brakes lol it’s ceramic brake pads or semi metallic brake pads people, BRAKES ARE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.....PLEASE KEEP THE INDUSTRY STANDARD LINGO

Are they supposed to squeak and “bite” from a dead stop?

Awesome Vis thanks

THANK YOU!!!! Not a fan of Akebono Euros they make the brake pedal feel too spongy and dont have that bite. ill stick to my semi metallic Ferodos and wheel cleaner. - I cherish my life. Super nice Avant btw!

hope you drive as fast as you talk

Raybestos EHT they are GG rated.........great pad and not too expensive, give them a try

Nice car man.

What was Audi thinking with that front plate placement? It looks really bad.

Dude he's talking super fast! Cnt even catch Watt he's sayin lol

Thanks for making this vid bud

I used hydrate for the first time after cleaning my black car with Frothe. The shine is very similar to when I waxed it with Meguiar’s ultimate paste wax. Not as hydrophobic, but pretty damn close. I can’t wait to use reflex and skin next spring after a 2 stage polish.

That part is junk

So this part has been replaced 4 times on my 2017 a4 . This issue is not repairable .

Putting my first layer of skin on. Foam pad works great to apply. Nice ride bro. You are right it does add a bit of depth..
