    So I washed my car and while washing it I discovered a bunch of rust looking dots on my paint. Its from the doors back and below the molding. My car is white so you can hardcore notice it....have any of you guys had this? Idk if a nice claybar and wax job would get rid of them but they have me concerned because they weren't there pre winter.

    I had the same thing on mine, I couldn't get it off with normal megs clay bar so I had to take it to a professional detailer to get done and he said it was rail dust and he had to use some claybar and buffed it out.

    So has it been there always and the salt makes a weird reaction or was I just not paying attention to it before winter haha

    its so small it take a while for it to built up to a noticeable size. it will always be there and youll have claybar it again down the road. i did my car about 2 years ago and i have started noticing them here and there.

    I used some rubbing compound to take them out because the claybar I was using didnt take them off
