Pad Material Buildup on Rotors

[FredBGT]

Noticed I'm getting a lot of pad material built up on my rotors at 5600ish miles. Should I be concerned? My car is a base model GT. Drive like I have all my cars and never had much issue with brakes before except just wear/tear. In my other performance oriented cars I've mainly had metallic pads but also some ceramic, think the base GT has organic pads. Lately had a lot of animals running out in the road and the number of people pulling out in front of me has increased. Spring and summer months. Lots of braking. No issues with the brakes in use, just seems like they are working pretty hard. Making me wonder if I shouldn't have gotten the performance package. Any suggestions for a better pad for the base brakes?

Aside from getting harsh brake pads to clean the discs, try bedding them in, see if that cleans them up ok.

Try bedding, if still overheating the stock pad and getting uneven deposits you can clean with a brake hone on a drill then put higher temp range pads on like ferodo 2500

I bought a 2023 Challenger a couple of years back and the front brake dust problem was unbearable, it took me about a month to change to these:

Power Stop Z26 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Pads and got an 80-90% reduction in dust.

Also, with Brembos, it was the easiest pad change ever. Remove tires, two pins, slide old pads out, put new in and done!
