Never Again.

Never Again.
Suggestion to anyone thinking of buying the ceramic performance brakes from autozone. I purchased these originally because of the lifetime warranty.
Well I decided to clean my rims today and noticed that the the brake dust didn't wipe off like normal brake dust. Instead after the initial cleaning I noticed little tiny dots black specs everywhere. Looked sort of like road tar that you can scrap off with your finger nail. I guess ceramic pads leave little crystals instead of fine dust like normal brake pads. This was only after two weeks of use. I'm glad I didn't wait longer to clean my rims or this stuff might not even come off. My poor volks.
I'm going to call autozone and see if they can give me a refund or something. Do you think I have a valid reason to return these pads or do I have to make up something more drastic.
I seem to be have the worst luck with my car at the moment. First my crappy alignment job and now this.

Nightrider...from your experience what color was the brake dust for the titanium pads. Grey, or Redish Brown like stock?
I don't mind brake dust... just as long as it wipes off nicely and doesn't stain my rims like white on rice.
