I own a 2004 Chevy Express 1500 Van . Does this van come with ceramic brake pads?
Ceramic Brake pads April 28th, 2009Will Ceramic BrakBrake Pads stop corrosion of chrome wheels This vehical has never been in winter or salted roads
No, semi-metallic pads are the norm. Ceramic pads are very expensive to put on stock cars.. The dust is from the (s-m) pads breaking down as the get more miles on them. The metal dust collects on just about everything around the caliper and rust with the weather. There are some spray-on brake dust removers but they can be hazardous to small animals. My car came with a disc that goes on between the wheel and the brakes. Its a metal plate that fits behind the rim and blocks the dust from going out on to the wheel. It Works!!!!

I belive most newer vehicles come with ceramic pads. It will help quite a bit with corrosion.

No. Ceramic brake pads are after-market performance items, not original equipment. The best thing to stop corrosion on chrome wheels is to just keep them clean.
