I believe the same, i changed out the front pads of the S420. Used mintex pads, the olds pads i took out where textar and they make alot of dust! The mintex dont seem to make to much dust.
But i did sand the edges of the mintex pads to get them in. The caliper surprisingly wasnt rusty but i used brake cleaner to clean the caliper and rotor. I used MB brake paste on the back of the new pads.
The rear squeeled very loudly so i pulled them (pads looked almost new) and put the MB brake paste on the back of the pads....wha la! no more squeeling.
