Brake pad goop
Hi all,
Did a track day with my new DTC-30 brake pads yesterday. After my first session I noticed a liquid goop on the pad backing plate. I don’t use any grease since these are race pads, but I’m wondering if this goop is residual from my oem pads which I took out this past Saturday. I know I should’ve gone with the DTC-60s, but I’m wondering what this is and if it’s safe to run these still. This picture was taken today so the goop has solidified. TIA  Passenger side:

Might have been the protective coat/original cosmetic finish on the pads themselves?

I used to track with Yellowstuffs and Carbotech AX6 which absolutely sucked on the track, but they never fell apart on me. |

Looks like the paint bubbling off. I would not worry about it.

Just to give you an idea they will look like this after it's all burned off. These are DTC 30

that's entirely paint.
my E39 540i valve cover looks like that, but it's taken years for the paint to bubble. |
