I have just washed and dried my car.I noticed small brown spots on the paint.The last time i drove the car was in heavy rain and a lot of standing water.
When i washed the wheels i was getting the same colour water coming off them.
i have recently had some Ferodo pads fitted on the front i think they could be the cause.Anybody else had this problem?
Another question what product do you use to clean the brake dust off the calipers?

Yeah it's a very common problem with uprated pads,when the pad dust sticks to the paint,use a product called"iron x" that will make light work of iron particles produced by uprated pads without damaging your paint it will dissolve it and turn a mauve colour then simply wash off with a steady stream of water.SJ.

As above. Iron X will sort it fine.

Don't forget to reapply whatever protection you had on the paint after as it will strip it.

Nanolex have a fallout remover in the testing stage that will not affect the sealant (lsp safe) - can't wait for that one!
