2Bentleys is infamous around these parts
I have used Autoglym Wheel protector on my Bentley wheels and it keeps wheels brake dust free for weeks. Let me know if you’d like to purchase because I have extra cans available.

Which Dynamic Friction did you get? Their website shows 3 options. I can't find the ceramics in stock anywhere.

Dynamic Friction 5000 Advanced Pads

Dynamic Friction only sells through 3 distributors - Amazon.com, eBay, Rockauto.com

I work on my Astons and a handful of my friends. These are the only pads I use on any brake job I do.
Give them a try. You won't be sorry.

These, in essence, are what I have on my DB11. I changed to these pads over two years now. Performance is good on my non-tracked car, completely (and I mean completely) dust free. And they're not at stupid prices.
The problem is finding the correct pads for a later model like the DB11. It took a little work, but once I found out what other cars are using the same front/rear Brembo systems, pads became readily available.

I agree - try them you won't be disappointed.

I just installed Hawk HPS 5.0 pads on my car and I've been extremely happy with them. Near-zero dust and they stop better than OEM.

Only drawback was they squeaked a lot when new, even after the bedding procedure, but that went away entirely after a couple hundred miles. Now they're as quiet as anything and only make some noise when they're worked very hard and hot. I really recommend them.

Mind sharing the part numbers you ordered for the DB11? This is likely a job I will be doing later this year.

Yes, no problem

The brake system AM put on the DB11 is the same Brembo systems used on several other cars, but to simplify it I will give you just one model. My recommendation is to use Rock Auto BC the brake pad options for a given car are many. But if you want to just focus on the ceramic low dust pads from Dynamic Friction then I will point to those P/Ns. In my case I actually used PowerStop pads but I believe PS and DF are the same company.

For the rears, DB11 used the same Brembo brake system used on:
Corvette ZR1 (2010 MY). Will be listed on RA as the 6.2L Supercharged
Dynamic Friction pads are p/ns 1115116500 or 1115116501 based on the pad type you want. I used Power Stop Z23-1165 on mine, but again, the DF (with 1165 embedded in the p/n) are same

For the fronts DB11 used the same Brembos as used on:
Corvette 2015-19 Z06
Dynamic Friction pads are p/ns 1115140500 or 1115140501. I used the PS Z26-1405 - again, key to the p/n is the 1405 embedded in the DF p/n
