Ford Focus: Lots of brake dust - new ST

You will notice this with modern brake materials that no longer contain
asbestos. I assume you have alloy wheels. You will be cleaning the brake
dust off at regular intervals

It is normal with a Focus - unless you are really writing about 'clouds
of dust'.

Do you have disks (rotors) on all 4 wheels. On my UK Focus with disks at
the front and drums on the rear it's only the front wheels that get
dirty with brake dust quickly.

Simply brake less or clean alloys more often.

Yes, the ST in the US has four wheel disks.
And all four give off the dust.
I am used to the amount of dust that slowly collects on my 4 disk Crown Vic,
but I get a months worth of dust in a few days with the Focus.......
Anyway, thanks for the advice from all respondents - I'll just get used to
cleaning the wheels more often, and watch my brake use.
