Brake dust on entire rear of car...

Just bought my G35 yesterday, and I must say what a f****** car! Incredible. I've never had so much fun in my life. ONLY downside, is the car is ivory pearl, and EVERY time I drive it, I get TONS of brake dust ALL over the rear bumper. ALL over it. Like a full layer. Any clue why it's so substantial and how to lessen it? Anything the dealership woulda done to it that may cause this initially?

Switching out your pads helps some.

Hawk HPS make at least 50% less dust.

you sure it's brake dust and not the carbon composites from the exhaust?
