Factory pads clog up disk vents?

After a good drive, noticed this. Anyone with aftermarket pads? (and no, not you with the ceramic pads - I want my car to stop!)

Thats pretty normal for drilled rotors. Just pad material building up. It is not affecting braking power at all. If it builds up enough it will affect cooling to a very small degree, but not a problem on the street.

If it bothers you get some compressed air and blow it out.
