Default Brake Dust!

New to Audis (moved up from Cadillacs)- just picked up a new 2013 TTS & a new 2013 Q7.
Do these things ever quit throwing off brake dust like a sandstorm, or am I doomed to a life of grimy black rags in my garage after every short trip across town ?

Get ceramic pads and ease up the cleaning chores!

Try the Forum search function. I am having a very good experience with Hawk ceramic pads on my 2011 3.0T Q7. The only time brake dust enters my mind is when I scan these Forum posts.

I have the Hawk ceramics on my 2010 Q7. There IS still brake dust. It's reddish and about 1/10 as much as factory pads; but there's still dust.
