It is infrared light for the ceramic coating. The Feynlab ceramic wheel coating needs a decent amount of time to cure and if you drive before it cures the brake dust could get embedded in the coating so they required you to heat it up with infrared light. I had the outside and inner wheels done as well as the brake calipers. Here are the instructions from the website:
Infrared Curing (Required):
Bake each panel with an IR lamp to reach a surface temperature of 60°C (140°F) for 15min at a distance of ~ 30-36″ from the panel.

thanks for weighing in. The two options you shared don't seem to have Ceramic pads for the 2025. Also, I checked Hawk and neither do they....We can't be re inventing the wheel here...Brake Dust is less than desirable...Surely there is a Ceramic pad option....Hopefully others will weigh in....

Initial bite is less than OEM. You'll get used to it in a day and won't notice it anymore.

This is what I use for a GTS.1 brake:
Dynamic Friction 1600-1349-01
Dynamic Friction 1551-1655-01

look for my post. i changed over to carbon pads and MASSIVE MASSIVE difference. it took me ages to find it.. but i found it.. works really well and a hell lot less brake dust!!! brake bite and feel just the same
works great
I got them from HawkPads Direct --> https://www.hawkpadsdirect.com/colle...m-front-rotors
front and rear ceramic brake pads.

Side note... I have used Hawk HPS several times on past cars and liked them a lot. They did squeal quite ferociously on one vehicle. Make of that what you will. I'm not sure if they would these days or not.

I also have gunmetal dark wheels so I don't notice the brake dust as much but seems reasonable.
They should work on a 2025 GTS. See if you can compare the part number or get the Brembo part number off of the actual caliper.
I did a lot of research on this and the calipers don't change often and the same ones are used on different models even if the Rotor diameter changes.
For example, the 958 Turbo uses the same calipers as 9Y0 GTS and the GTS Calipers are the same as the S in the .1 version. If the last couple of alpha numeric match across parts, its the same, the first number designate a generation and color code for the caliper.

My guess is that they haven't changed and they just haven't updated their site yet. Not a lot of volume for brake pads for brand new cars. But this would of course need to be confirmed. Can you see the part number on your pads? I am interested as well. 2025 Turbo eHybrid here... Which I'm guessing has the same brakes as its non-hybrid siblings? I just gave the car its first bath yesterday (only had it 2 weeks) and man, that was a lot of brake dust...

Post up pics of your caliper. Better is to snap a pic of the Brembo number imprinted on it.
I believe all the 9Y0 Cayenne share the same 6-piston Brembo front caliper. The base had a 4 piston early in the generation but has changed to 6 piston.
I also think the rears haven't changed. *This excludes PSCB and PCCB. Panamera also uses similar brakes.
2022 GTS Caliper Part number
Front
9Y0615123AH - That's a Brembo number. I believe that is the number you want on a Porsche caliper to determine if it's the same across models.
9Y0615124AH
Rear
9Y0615424D
9Y0615423D

All- please keep us posted as I have exhausted research on finding ceramic pads for the 2025 GTS. I even called Carbotech and they are willing to make a set, but need shapes and I believe they said a "MSI" number....not sure if I have that correct, but they said it defines the shape? In any event the brake dust is atrocious on the OEM pads. Hoping to find ceramic pads sooner than later as to avoid having to turn the rotors as well.
FromAI:
What the FMSI System Does:
- Standardized Part Numbers:
FMSI created a unique numbering system to classify and identify different brake pads.
- Common Language:
The FMSI number provides a consistent, universal way for the industry to refer to specific brake pad applications.
