Change your pads...EBC green stuff, etc...

You really don't have a choice. I bought a small detailing brush from Precision Auto with soft bristles. Goes in between the hard to reach areas and makes it easier for me to clean the wheels.

Would changing the pads from OEM to EBC effect the Warranty?

I would really like to put in the green stuff pads but I have this vision of going to the dealer with a warranty claim on something totally unrelated and they say "so sorry, change of pads voids warranty."

Magnusson Act....they have to prove the part you installed...

did the damage, if not they will have to cover it under warranty.

I use Simple Green in a spray bottle (Griot's best)...

then I use their Boar's hair hand brush (very soft), hose off, & dry. I do this 2 to 3 times as often as I wash the whole car. The clean wheels & tires makes the car look cleaner longer, as most people see the wheels first.<br>

Oh, on the Z06, I take it up to 170... the dirt can't hold on much over 160! :-)<br>
Too close for missles... switching to guns. YEEEEEEHAAAAAAAA<br>

Consider that the warranty on pads/rotors is only 1 year and it doesn't matter.
