If you drive a lighter colored vehicle (namely white) you may have or start to see little specks of rust on the surface of your vehicle's paint. Don't worry, its not the onset of rust, but more likely the result of brake dust - by-product of the wear process on your brake pads.
There is a method to removing brake dust from your paint, the draw back being that it will continually re-occur as result of the above description.
The adjacent picture (taken from our accredited auto-detailing location JREK Autocare) illustrates before and after utilizing a clay bar during the wash process to remove brake dust.
Clay Bar (as seen from the below picture) is a bar of clay that you rub by section on the paint of your vehicle during the wash process.
From optimum results, you'll want to fold and/or twist the clay bar after you've rubbed a particular section of paint. This enables the clay to replenish to a newer portion of the bar.
Typically, a bar lasts about 6-12 vehicles (depends on how dirty paint is and how much time you spend claying a vehicle).

If your thinking of completing a clay job on your vehicle, we've hyperlinked the Chemical Guy's Clay Bar & Lube kit to offer an example of some products you can use to complete this task.
Of note, the longer brake dust has sat on paint the harder it is to remove. This means you may have to clay a vehicle multiple times before achieving your desired results.
