They are actually tiny particles of bare metal that become embedded into the surface of automobiles and cause serious damage when left untreated. Rail dust is produced from the friction of the rail wheels on the rail road track. Brake dust is produced during the friction of braking. Brake pads are currently made of metal particles and during braking metal on metal friction disperses metal shavings onto the finish of vehicles.
