I don't do a lot of hard braking - in fact, I use my clutch and downshifting more to slow my car (unless, of course, someone decides to stop suddenly in the left hand lane - a rather common phenom on soCal freeways) - yet, within a few days of washing my car, my front rims are caked with brake dust.

Is this a Porsche side effect that I'll have to learn to live with or is this something that occurs in the new period (my car is about a month new) that will eventually wear off?
