Micro dust particles and heaps of it. You don't see that in your cars simply because you don't spend a day thrashing around a dusty motocross or desert enduro track but it is still getting through.
I get that on my Ranger with stock filter, trying a uni filter (dual stage foam) now.

Not much but any dust in is not nice!!
