I have been very, very unimpressed with this stuff. In my experience, it does make the dust dome off easier, but it's not uniform in that regard (i.e. You can't just rinse the dust off). Not really sure it's been worth the extra step.
All I can say is with it I have less visible brake dust after a week than I normally would after a day. The only reason I even mentioned this product is because I thought the OP was referring to ceramic pads to minimize dusting. I couldn't believe someone was actually interested in redesigning one of the most thoroughly-engineered systems on the car.

The thing I hate about the cast rotors is the rusting. Every time I clean my wheels, I get corrosion on the rotor surface. When done w cleaning I usually take the car out and spin the wheels to dry them. That spins orange swill inside the barrel of the wheel. Then I am trying to reach back inside the spokes with cleaner and a rag. I guess I should just let the wheel sit and dry after cleaning. Then I will just have red dust. I wonder if my rotors corrode more than other peoples?

carbon ceramic are not very good for daily. They are a bit fragile if you accidently bang something against it when working on the car. Highly overrated to me unless you are doing some bleeding edge stuff. If you want to reduce rotation/unsprung weight, the factory GT350 wheels are porky just like the GT PP wheels. Those project 6GR wheels are a big weight reduction and look damn good
