I think the X was the only model left in 2005 that still had a slight dusting problem up front since they retained the smaller brakes from 04. All the other models from 05 and newer appear to be dust free.
It's hard to give up that warrantee though....
I know I wondered if I was doing the right thing at the time.

I just wiped my wheels down after 140 miles and there was brake dust. The color of the wheels hide it well but there is more dust then I would have expected. But then again they are brand new.

I didn't wipe my wheels but I did take a peek today after over 500 miles. I can't see any.

You'll always get some dust, no matter what, but nothing like the '03 - '04 brakes, especially after driving in the rain, they looked like you had driven through a sludge pond at a coal mine, it's normal to get some black dust on the towel, even if it's not visible on the wheel. And when my '05 was new, I got some little "puffs" of dust, that went away after the first 1k miles.
