so today i look....and see LITTLE tiny rust spots on the hood....but there are no chips or anything.....anyone else see this??

(I clean my car 2-3 times a week, so its not like its sitting with crap on it for even 3-4 days!!)

I have a PWP if that helps

 

Moving this to Problems & Fixes.

This baffles me somewhat. I'd tell you right off the bat that it's rusted brake dust, but seeing it on the hood is somewhat awkward.

Try and see what the dealer says of it.

 

I've got them on the hood as well.

 

I used to see really tiny rust spots on my car (white diamond pearl TL) as well. A good claying took them out. I think it was from brake dust or something that had settled onto the clearcoat and started rusting.

 

so what are you doing about it?

 

Probably just brown bird drop. Remember it comes in variety of colour and texture. Maybe someday you gonna hear "I got chocolate on my hood and there is obviously no chip". I had a white Maxima and I had seen red/brownish road contaminants that were hard to get rid off. Like lokman, clay bar is the easiest and safest solution.

However, I notice tiny rust spot on the chromo parts.

 

clay bar it, it'll come out. i get them all the time, a good deep cleaning does the trick. washing wont do jack, its deeper in the paint, but a clay bar will get it out.

PWP owners unite!

 

bird crap???


the rust on chrome is easy to come off, and common.....but on the PAINT of a car with 700 miles on it. I have never seen that.....now i gotta clay bar it...gezzzz

I'll try waxing it and see how that works....if not, i figured claybar was next....after that its GIVE ME A NEW CAR time!!!

 

chill out, its not rust from your car. it crap flying off other cars, debris, brakes. run your finger nail over it and it should come out. you'll only have rust off your own car if a rock chip exposes the bare metal.

 

I did the fingernail thing, i washed it, rubbed it, and it WONT come off

and there is no chip there because it doesnt catch...its like UNDER the clearcoat somehow

 

Doesn't sound like rust, maybe tree sap. Clay bar should take it out.

 

not tree sap...trust me

i know this stuff

I am telling EVERYONE that it is rust, and I am asking if others have had this problem because maybe its somethign to do with the paint job and we might have to take it up with Acura.

 

ok, 1 more time. stop the whining, clay bar your car and then post the results. i have this "problem" its called crap getting on your car.

 

I had the same problem with the rust spots. It turned out to be fallout particles. I busted my hump trying to get them off using clay and compounds. I found the that Meguiers ScratchX got rid of them but the problem is you have to rub each spot on its own for it to really get it out but it did work.

 

I had this same problem for the past several years..small round rusty spots on the car on certain days. My car is parked nearby a laboratory facility...fumehoods and ducting..probably some rust in the ducting transferred while water samples are evaporating and this condenses out onto the cars. It cleans off easily.

 

no, no it's not.

 

Good find!

 

Exactly what I said before, nice find!

 

cool.............I LIKE PROOF....not just someones word

thanks!

 

not sure how that makes sense, the link was a post on another forum. if you want proof, go clay bar your car and see what happens.

 

bg I assure you that Anthony knows what he's talking about. Take the advice put it to use on your car and you'll see your proof.



I live on that site

 

thanks

 

I just clayed two cars this past weekend, and the difference is amazing. Not only did the little rust spots come out, but the clay also took off bug guts that didn't come out and even worked on the glass. The smoothness of the paint and the increase in shine afterwards simply from using clay never ceases to amaze me.
