akebono brakes
Thanks Ron for your reply. According to the Akebono's web site they not yet got D5 pad. I hope you have fun with the new Discovery. I am overall happy with mine except the infotainment system.

Does anyone know if you can buy low dust or ceramic brake pads?
My D5 is the first Euro car I have had a the brake dust is driving me mad.
Hi Leroy, this may be a cheaper option. Got the wheels coated a few weeks ago. So easy just too powerwash the brake dust off, without even taking a mitt too it. Like yourself it drives me mad, as have silver 22's, and against the black car it sticks out like a sore thumb when dirty. Have you got black wheels which look brown when caked in brake dust ??
(I think that being an automatic that the D5 sheds alot more dust than a manual Disco would).

Right now, ceramic Coating was my best option as well, pretty happy with ceramic pro, got the platinum package, and gold on my other car, no difference in quality so far. https://ceramic-pro.co.nz/
Went for this package-
Crystal Serum Ultra + EXO " CSU Black " - 4x4
All paintwork degreased with Gtechniq Panel Wipe, then coated with Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra
followed by ultra-hydrophobic Gtechniq EXO. Nine-year Gtechniq Guarantee.
Gtechniq C5 - Wheels On Package
Wheel faces degreased with Gtechniq Panel Wipe and coated with Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour.
Gtechniq Seat Pack
Leather seats protected with L1 Leather Guard.
Interior Valet
Interior hoovered, trim and glass cleaned.
Single Stage Detail - 4x4.
*All bodywork including wheels, arches and door shuts thoroughly and safely washed and de-contaminated
using various chemicals and techniques.
*Vehicle dried then inspected under several lights ahead of machine work.
*Single stage machine enhancement on all painted surfaces.
*Two coats of either wax or sealant applied to all painted surfaces including door shuts.
*Wheel wax applied to wheel faces.
*Trim dressed with a durable trim sealant.
*Tyres and plastic arch liners dressed.
*Glass polished and rain repellent applied.
*Exhaust and chromes polished.
First wash was on the weekend. Not even touched with a mitt. Just a snowfoam and a rinse and was sparkling. All i had too do was dry it with a chamois cloth or a microfibre
Only difference is Crystal serum light has only got a 5 year warranty and not as tough as the Ultra. Very similar to the Ceramic Pro that you have.

If I drive to Port Kembla today I might be getting a glimpse of the car being unloaded
