Rusting through the paint is extremely unlikely, especially considering your efforts thus far. Underbody/chassis/hardware rust is a possibility, but still not likely this early. Need pics!

You can thank your "professional" opticoater...probably didn't clay bar the car properly
Strip the opticoat, clay bar and detail your car...disaster averted |

de-ionize?
Sounds like typical raildust locations. Whether you think your guy is 'pro' or not the proof is in the paint. Someone didnt do a through job.A service thats worth anything will stand behind their work, hopefully this doesnt become a problem and they just fix it right. |

The dealership is well aware of rail dust/rust and could have eliminated this problem when they did their PDI work. I'd dump it in their lap for not properly prepping your car for delivery. As I said in an earlier posting, they have a very simple bath solution to eliminate the problem that is not harmful to the cars finish.

Here is what gets me about the responses to this thread...
What if I didn't opticoat the car? Most people don't and there shouldn't be a spec of rust on the car until years down the line. |

It's not the car itself rusting. It's rail dust that was already ON the car from transportation starting to rust (and show up now) becuase the salt on the roads is making it do it. "rail dust" is just a term most of us are using, and it probably is from transportation and the guy who cleaned your car so awesome, didn't. We get it, you watched him, but my guess is you watched him do a shitty job.
If the car was actaully rusting you wouldn't be able to remove any of it like you said you can. I used to live in Michigan and I've seen this a bunch of times on new cars.

^ Yes. I was in Michigan in 1995 and bought a new white Pontiac Grand Am and it began showing up on my car shortly after I bought it. I went back to the dealership with the problem and within a short time they eliminated the problem. The service manager told me they usually took care of the problem before delivery and apologized for failing to do so.

I bet if you look closely, you'll be able to find specs of rail dust on plastic parts of the body. It's fine that you want your dealer to look at the car anyway since you are taking it in, but they'll tell you the same thing we are. |
