Chrysler: PT Cruiser brake pad dust shield question.

My major complaint about my PT Cruiser is the fact that the front wheels are
filthy with brake dust within two days of having been cleaned.
JC Whitney lists shields that are put on between the wheel and the pads and
block the dust from the wheels. They are supposedly finned to keep the brakes
cool.
I've heard that on some vehicles these shields are fine, and on others they
cause the brakes to overheat.
What is the PT's status with using these?

Exactly right. Polish the wheels and they will clean-up a lot easier;
really. When my 01's front pads needed replacement I put on a new factory
set and can't complain about the dust.
