C300 Brake Pads

Are there any aftermarket C300 Brake pads out yet, I just can't take the black goo
brake dust, I know that this has been beat to death, and I have been waiting
for someone to come out with a solution, I know that some have said that it will get better with miles on the car, now with 13000 it seems to have gotten worse. the rear wheels are coated in as little as 25 miles after cleaning. I go the dealer and see every car in for service with the same problem.

It built up the same day you washed it? Wow yours is bad. After I wash my car/rims it takes a week or so to notice actually break dust on it.

Mine does build up the same day, sadly. Reeeeeeally hate the stock pads.

Does anyone know if there is a dustless aftermarket pad? The car has now been out for 2 years, I would think that aftermarket pads would be out by now.

I searched a few months back and no one had W204 specific pads. Porterfield is releasing theirs in May so only a month wait unless someone finds another brand that has released them already.
