I have Akebono Ceramic Brake Pads and dont ever have to wipe my wheels down between washes.
With OEM Pads, I constantly wiped them down (even between rides)

I'll trade stopping power for dust. I've heard of too many complaints of squeaks and fade from the ceramic pads.

Also another reason I stick with OEM parts...I've been working on cars long enough to have learned the hard way.

x2 on the Akebono brake pads. My wheel stays clean and the car still stops great.

I used ceramic on my truck prior but stopping power was compromised. The low dust was nice but I went back to organics.
