I just bought a new Rogue 5 days ago and love it. I've had 3 Saabs and the break dust on the wheels was horrible. How have you found the break dust on the Rogues?Pam

The dust is minimal with the OEM Nissan brake pads. You may see a light coating after several days, and it should easily wash away. You don't have to worry.

It depends on your driving, I do mostly city, some suburban driving and little hwy, I have a significant amount of brake dust, noticeable after a few days from clean. After a week, more noticeable and after 2 weeks, very noticeable. Also, it does not hose off, scrubbing necessary.....

Good point. I am gentle on my brakes and I do 80% hwy / 20% city driving.

I've only had my Rogue for a week, and so far, I had very little brake dust on the wheels. I was able to take it off with very little 409, and a paper towel. In the same amount of time on my Saab's, same commute, the wheels would be caked with brake dust. I drive about 80% highway.
