any ideas this just dust on the brakes?

or is it just where my brake pads have worn down to nothing on the front and its metal?

Depends when they squeal. It could be rust in the morning, or the pads squealing. If there's still plenty meat left then check that there's copper slip on the lugs but dont get any on the pads! I was cleaning my wheels with the jet wash & blew off the grease & they squeel like a pig thru traffic!
