I just picked up a new 2SS/RS L99 two weeks ago. White with black stripes. Ive noticed a significant amount of brake dust since I got the car. So much that its streaking all the way down the doors and extending to the rear quarter panels. Is this normal?

i agree with ss047, brack dust is a brown powder substance. that looks like tire shine gooey stuff.

hmm i never thought about tire shine. they were shined up when i bought it, but it has since worn off.

the gray spots are definitely a very fine dust tho. easily wiped off but annoying.

the brake dust is suspended in your tire shine, otherwise it wouldn't blotch like that, it would just be a brown powdery substance on your rims.

That does look like excess tire shine got slung onto the car. However, get used to cleaning brake dust. My wheels stay nice for approx 10 minutes after I spend all day washing my car.
