Brake Dust! Dust! Dust!

Brake Dust! Dust! Dust!
This GT4 takes it to another level. After one simple drive, car in pristine condition, comes back with a lot of this dust on wheels, doors and rear bumper. A LOT of dust...and I mean alot....
I tried searching and reading everything I could find...Either change out pads to less grippy pads sacrificing performance and bite, wax wheels, coat wheels...
any other things I am missing?
Thanks

When I switched out my PCCBs I went with Ferrodo DS2500 pads from Clark at Apex. They produce less dust than the pads on iron rotor equipped cars. Not as good as the PCCBs as you might expect.

The brake dust is horrible on this car for sure
I have complained about it as well
I think it is also the tires ...
The Dunlops have a tread wear rating of 80!

PFC 11 apparently performs better than stock, lasts longer, dusts less, and stays silent or near-silent on the road. I was going to run them but opted to try Ferodo DS1.11s first since people who have run both seem to prefer the Ferodos on track, though they make a bit more noise on the road, so I'll see if I'm willing to deal with the noise and switch to PFCs if I'm not.

Wheels- Armor All Outlast
Car- a nano coating like OptiCoat Pro Plus

Perhaps because I have the black wheels and is less noticeable, but I don't find the brake dust on the GT4 anything abnormal, in fact my ///M accumulates a helluva lot more!

True, but I have silver wheels and even though I DD my car, I don't find the brake dust accumulation to be unreasonable. Even the track was a bit better than I'd been led to expect. Granted I'm not "car OCD" like some here, but I've never noticed brake dust building up on the body panels. Maybe because I have DBM?
This. I actually had one of my friends compliment me on the imperfect aesthetic state of my car, particularly the dust on the wheels, because in his words, "It's nice to see someone who bought a Porsche to actually drive it as it was intended rather than just keep it pristine all the time." My thoughts exactly.

Hey guys try a white car and tell me about it
Actually some OCD people drive their cars too...
I happen to be one of them
I just coated wheels and brakes with rejex ( but that was on the PCCB, car
I have yet to try it on the iron rotors ...
I have used the armor-all and it does really help...
I want to see how the rejex will help on the side panels and rear( over the 3m pro series)
Hoping it will reduce the static cling ?? For the dust and dirt
