Take a peek at your front wheels vs. the rear wheels - the fronts generate much more brake dust, and yet they tend to brown out as fast as the rears. As well, guys like me who don't drive it much will see the fade to brown even if the car isn't driven.

I pressure wash my powder coated wheels, doors, sunroof, fenders and the rest of the car.
at 1600psi it's nothing.
Look at the paint and tell me that doesn't look like 250k~ miles.
