Just use a spray on product from Armorall. Its in a pressure pack can. Spray it on the wheels, let it dry and dust wont stick for ages even in rain it wont stick.
The wheels will look totally clean and perfect for a very long time. Its quite amazing.....worth trying.
The car will get dirty before the wheels.

pads
The squealing is from the carbon transfer on the rotors, that is the way the pad is designed to work, typical of race compounds, HPS do make noise, more noticeable when you have transfer from track use etc. You could try Hawk ceramic compounds they give off dust as well, but less noticeable because the dust is grey. I doubt ceramics are available for the TT calliper though. Ceramics won't have the bite compared to the HPS. I had them on my Audi, big difference.

Oh believe you me, it's horrible with the factory pads and aftermarket wheels. Put it this way... My car is never dirty, no rain, waxed like 4 times a week, you know the drill, and I found myself cleaning them off after every short drive. You go through the trouble of buying $8500 wheels and then instead of looking at your nice new wheels you get to look at a nice fluffy orange-brown-ish coating of dust all the damn time. Terrible. Porsche should really do something about it. Yes, they offer PCCB's, but there is no reason the steel brakes have to have that much dust. Plenty of companies changed their pads.. Mercedes finally changed up. The new models have zero dust. E-550 coupe- none. Oh well, I'm just glad it's over! lol Reminiscing about them is making me sick. lol..

Damn, nothing like drawing negative attention to a hot p-car than pulling up to the light and having a little squeal like a jalopy.

Dont worry the Bogg, mine did that too at one stage. All fixed now thankfully. Only does it now on the odd occasion after a real good and prolonged brake workout.
