4 wheel disc brakes? Brake pads do have a break-in period - I'd wait a bit to ensure they have bedded. You most likely have organic brake pads which are on most new vehicles. Organic pads are the least expensive and contain carbon, fiberglass, rubber, and resin (hence the dust). Your alternative is to go to a ceramic composition (copper is embedded for greater friction) brake pad which is still quiet and produces less brake dust. Waxing the chrome hub caps is a good idea to make dust removal easier - plus it preserves the chome plating.
