Why would that make the wheels more dirty? Seems like that would blow the dust off more.
This is correct. The sides of my white GTI are always filthy with brake dust since adding the GT3 ducts, then replacing with RS3 ducts. It gathers in the door jams too. I wash it weekly and it's non-stop brake dust. I use Powerstop Z26 pads for street and autocross and their track day pad for track. I've been trying to get them to make the more aggressive Track Day Spec for the 4 pot Brembos, but they do make the Track Day Spec for PP fronts.
I'm wondering if splash guards might help, but likely not.
