Obviously you own an SHO with silver slicers and grayish/black brake dust
isn't a problem for you.  But for I and others with the white slicers brake
dust shows after ONE stop.

As far as dusting - Ford pads SUCK, PFCM pads SUCK, and the Carbotech F pads
I have now aren't dust-free but they are the lowest dusting and best
stopping street pads I've ever had.
