Minute Spots on the Front Bumper.

Has anyone noticed really, really (did I say really) tiny specks of rust or dust on the front bumper. Wont show up on a black finish, but on the white or silver it should. Noticed while drying baby off yesterday.

Rail dust or most likely, tar specs

No pictures, maybe too tiny to show up. Not tar, I get that off with turtle wax "bug, tar & tree sap" remover. If you just stand in front of the car you wont see it, if you need reading glasses you wont see it. Looks like someone sprinkled black pepper on the bumper. I have to get close to see the specks.

I have discoloration spots on the side of the car, near the wheel wells and on the sides closer to the back. Obviously from mud. Going to get mudguards unless anyone else knows how to get them out.

okay.....I have these spots too front and back........just looks like dirt or very small stains.....you have to look close to see it.....dont think a picture would show it.


does any one recommend a good car wash to get this off........scrubbing real hard wont work and I dont want to damage paint.......has anyone noticed if they come off with waxing?
