Default brake dust

Anyone using Hawk ceramics notice the brake dust really stuck or hard to get off?

Just had my pads changed to ceramics, I've come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as dustless. Those accumulate just as much dust as the ferrous pads.

I don't mind dust like you said is part of the deal. WCC is having a killer deal on a C6Z complete brake kit upgrade but their giving you Hawk ceramics over factory pads and I heard Hawks throw off some nasty stuff.

I have Raybestos Quiet Stops and don't notice much dust at all.

I had Hawk Ceramics on my 03 and they were really hard on my rotors, I won't be turning them again. But maybe that means EradiSpeeds are in my future!

I changed to Hawk HPS, good stopping and low dust.
