Seems to be the norm from what otheres have posted. Sounds like you just have to wipe it down fairly frequent. Saw somebody mention electrostatic disharging sprays help hold it at bay until the brakes get broke-in. What are your other observations about the car?

That's the price you have to pay with the Brembo brakes and the sloted rotors. If the dust bothers you, you can switch to ceramic pads but you will sacrifice some braking.

So much they turn a titanium color.

Suppose if you don't clean them, you could say you had that black chrome process that is being done on a lot of motorcycles
