I love Alpine White as a color and is very rewarding when clean. The OEM front pads throw alot of iron deposits along the car leaving some yellow rust marks along the side skirts. I did the rear with Brembo Rotors / Akebono pads and I'll probably do the same upfront after this winter. Gonna look into PPF and Ceramic Coat options soon.

Same here, car pro ironx will solve ‘rusty dots’ issue

Lol, you are letting the rational side of us all creep in! I would agree with your reasoning though given how tedious / costly the install is.
