Also, the statement that no type of dust is significantly easier to clean is, to put it bluntly, incorrect. Take track abuse out of the equation; I street drive my cars, and I drive them the same way regardless of pad type. Axxis Ultimate brake dust is some of the worst stuff I've ever had to try to get off wheels. It takes a set and etches the finish like no other pad I've ever run. This is on the same wheels, with the same calipers. HPS's still dust quite a bit, but it washes off easily. Hawk Ceramics almost rinse off, even with a thick coat that's baked on. I just lent out my wagon for almost 3 months, got it back, and had the wheels looking like new with a 30 second wash instead of the 30 minutes/wheel I'd have to use if Axxis dust had gotten wet and taken a set on the finish.

Also, I don't really care what the justification is in terms of use, friction coefficients, etc. If my wheels turn black in a week with Ultimates, and it takes a month to build up the same amount of dust with Ceramics, then have the only answer that's really relevant to me.

All pads dust, but saying that a street/track compound is more aggressive than a street-only compound and will dust more on the same car under the same conditions isn't even a revelation or a point of contention, it's just common sense.
