I would really like to talk about MB's today, but they are parked for two weeks as I am on the North Shore of Oahu enjoying the sunshine.

I got the Posi-Quiet front brake pads today. Got them super fast off ebay seller
http://www.ebay.com/itm/370628194422
The face of them are indeed a light brown/tan color like the photo.
Did a search on the reference number on the box 105.01451 and appears that Posi-Quiet are manufactured by Centric.
Will let you know how they perform both in terms of braking and dust as I get them on the car over the next couple of weeks.
My current brakes are fine except for the filth. I don't remember what brand or type they are but I'm sure my former self opted for cheap.
These Posi-Quiets aren't expensive, though, so maybe I was just too ignernt to buy them.

I bought the Posi-quiet too, so we'll see.
Tenn Nate is right; the brakes on these cars seem to last forever or
about 30K+.

I used it on my MB, it worked so well I did my 85 Dodge Ram Class B motor home, and even my 98 Neon that had good clear coat put not perfect clear coat.
The Ram does not get used in the winter, but the wax is great, the snow still slides right off the roof after a storm, even after 6 months. It would sit there with regular wax and I would have to go out there every so often and brush it off, not any more.
The MB has been dirvien all winter and water still beads unlike in the past with conventional wax where mid winter it would no longer bead.
The Neon scared me as the barkeepers friend put swirls in the clear, but once the waz was on, they dissapeard. It also has been driven through several NH winter storms, and still beads. If the paint on the neon was perfect, I would have skipped the barkeepers.
I found the Red Max pro at only one of the 5 lowes in the area for under 9 bucks (on sale)for the gallon last summer. I have done 3 vehicles so far and still have more than 3/4 a gallon left.
Simple to put on, no buffing off, ues it takes 5-6 coats to look good, but each coat takes 5-10 minutes, so over all about as much time as regular wax.
