How are you seeing your brake dusts pile up on your wheels? I don’t know if I gotta put those special brake pads.

It's still a big issue because coating the wheels doesn't stop the brown dust, it just makes it way easier to clean up

Brown dust is from flash rust on the rotor from cleaning the wheel coming off after the first drive.

That is true, however, the amount of "brown dust" that accumulates after driving, isn't just from the flash rust after a wash.

The amount of brown brake dust is an incredulous on these 992s. Sigh. Even with ceramic coating it is quite the volume and quite the ugly mess.

Weird. I have no brown brake dust with my steel brakes. Just regular old dark gray.

I'll get my color chart out and place it up against the dust on the wheels and see where she lands.....

Try getting the alignment checked. You may have toe out or zero toe and the car may be wandering because of it.
As for the seats, Porsche seats don't hold a candle to BMW seats. BMW probably makes the best dual duty sport/street seats you can get

brake dust on my GTS wheels (or any black wheel) kinda looks brown to me too.

I guess it's just each of our points of reference.

When not in grooved highway, the car feels as planted / straight as anything I've ever driven. I wonder if tire pressure would make an impact
