Just wanted to add my experience.

I rebuilt my Brembo's with new seals/pistons, removed the plates and corrosion that had mine binding beyond belief. Also installed new Brembo discs and pads.

After reading several warp threads before doing this refurb it was absolutely in the back of my head when bedding them in.
After apx 500-600 miles i started feeling that they were binding again, so i removed the calipper and pads and found a serious amount of brake dust inbetween the plates and pads. I'm wondering if this was the "initial bedding in dust" that reduces after bedding in, so to be sure i removed all the excess dust and got it all back together.. All good, checked again after apx 1000 miles and not even nearly the amount of dust.

Has now driven 7000 miles since this and brakes are 100% an no dust buildup p

So i suggest that it might be a good idea to do a little cleanup after bedding them in.
