Noticed a few of there listing saying genuine quality, that nearly caught me out too.

get rid of RPX pads for pagid rs14 supplied by alyn asperformance
my winter black chrome alloys are shot by dust from RPX pads
refreshed front calipers and summer wheels on with new nuts
Update regarding rs14 pads, yes less and non sticky dust, perform very good when cold now even better with fuji bbk.
Think main issue on RPX pads is bond they used , when hot it welds to an alloys and is so hard to remove.

My AP six pots faded like yours despite having the super duper brake fluid resistant coating, i like you polished them back up to a shine but it always bloomed again remininicent of the 80s ford's in blue and red.
Very disappointing from AP who blamed it on harsh acid based brake cleaner ( which i never use)

I ceramic coated them when new.
With this caliper i had enough of cleaning dust of it and i used to aggressive 2" pad on my polisher almost removing lettering and it faded red paint.
Yes had some brake fluid streak but easy cleaned it with polisher.
What i did when painting "apracing" word i used Upol blend and noticed red paint back to shine ( for 2nd coat i accidently used brake cleaner:facepalm: -its on first picture-almost removing fresh white paint)
Later on i washed my wheels and calipers and shine is still there,not sure its permanent but looks like it is.
I used iron out a lot in the past ,no harm for calipers but noticed it faded my anodised bells ( on picture have another set of brand new fitted )
