The back of my Focus ST is terrible. I can drive it half a mile and the back will be covered in dust and the front wheels almost black from the brake dust.

wax = dust magnet
Are you running oem pads? Could be the pads, I suggest switching to ceramics...
My stock Brembo pads were notorious for unbelievable amounts of brake dust. I installed ceramic pads, dust is pretty much eliminated.
What would the Klasse Twins be...synthetic all in one cleaner
and synthetic sealant? Feed back please. :buffing:

its usually the rubbing that attracts dust..my experience is both the synthetic and carnabua both are dust magnets..just give it a wash after a few days and you will be good to go..

My guess is dust sticks to "wax" because it's "sticky" and dust sticks to slick synthetic sealants because they are loaded with silicone to make them slick. I don't think it matters much. My guess is you would see some benefit with a coating though.
As for dirty wheels, anyone running dusty pads who likes to keep their car clean has to be nuts. Ceramic pads make zero dust and are pretty cheap. You can actually make money by installing them with all the money you can save on iron targeting wheel cleaners.
It's still a function of the pads and the dust is still friction material.

I propose that:
Sealants are Synonymous with being Synthetics.
Therefore, and by virtue of the Klasse Twins being in the "Sealant Family"...
I'll unabashedly state that they're synthetics.

Sorry for the wait though I was doing some research on that product and I found that it is synthetic acrylic german formula that was made specifically to withstand many months if abuse

It's not the rubbing per se, it's the static electricity that forms from the rubbing.
If you have changed those pads recently and are not using OEM or high quality pads, this can happen. With fugese pads (pronounced foo-gay-zee), as my mechanic brother calls them, you get what you get.
Agree
Klass Twins are acrylic-based. Acrylic is man-made, hence synthetic.

If pollen is heavy, like it was here in the midwest a couple weeks ago, it doesn't matter what you use. Its a well known fact here that nuba attracts more dust though.

4,000 miles on the stock OEM pads
It's all about the pad compound. No one's making an aftermarket pad yet that doesn't degrade the stopping ability of the car. Lose brake quality or live with dust.
Reason for the dust on the back of the car isn't the brakes. It's just that the rear due to the squared off tail and the agressive rear spoiler is a negative pressure area so dust can accumulate. My ST does it and my 07 Zx3 with the factory sport appearance package has similar issues.
