finally washed my 06 pearl white ralliart after a brutal cunuck winter and noticed the car was covered in what looks like rust spots. iknow there not cus they are on the bumpers and mirrors. any idea what they are and how to get rid of them? ill try a waxing maybe that will work.

 

It's particles embedded in the paint, most likely. Buy a clay bar kit, read the instructions, then claybar your car. That'll get all that grit out.

 

+1.
New cars come with these little rust spots...called "rail dust". Basically car is sitting on a train car, train grinds its metal wheels against metal tracks, grinds its wheels to a stop, etc. ....all this sends tiny hot metal particles in the air that land on the cars it is carrying. They arrive at the dealership and the dealer just washes the car. It needs clayed.....

Clay that bish. Then give it a nice coat of wax.

thanks im gonna get a clay bar and try it ouy

 

i clay bar the car once a month, i love that stuff. If done right it works amazingly.

 

never clayed a car what are the benefits of doing it once a month or so?

 

once a month is a bit extreme, ususally once a year is the most commonly used interval; it wipes away stuck particles (a lot of which are invisible) and creates a smooth, more even finish on your paint.

You need to wax your car directly after using the clay bar as it takes off most of the existing wax on the car.

Wash it up real nice, clay it up, wax, and damn you'll have one damn good looking car.

 

lol thanks solo
