Specs of red on Whiteout
 
My whiteout has some specks of red/orange in the paint it seems. I have tried to rub it off with some water but it does not come off and it seems to be part of the paint, not like dirty. Is there a way to remove these specks?

Are they "lifted" on the paint? If so perhaps a claybar?

Most likly rail rust. Very normal to see on white cars. Clay bar will remove them. Just remember to wax, etc afterwards.

Only problem is you won't be removing the iron deposits, you'll only be shearing off the surface. They will re-bloom in a short period of time.

What you need is something like Iron-X or the ValuGard ABC kit to actually remove the entire particle both above AND below the surface.

Like Charlie said, the clay will only shear it off. I would clay first, then use IronX to remove all the remaining bits.

Here are the pics of the spots... I noticed that there are a ton of them at the back bumper, right below the trunk. (the horizontal part where u could sit on)

Does those big box stores have the IronX or clay bar?

I live in Canada.

Some of the black spots, may just be dirt. but the ones with a reddish tinge cant be rubbed off.

Where are you in Canada, I'll find a good detailer for you to see.

Im at GTA. Will that IronX stuff work? if so where do I get some?

Rail rust will develope on any color car that has been transported on a train. It's just that it's only noticeable on white cars. Your dealer has the chemicals used to remove rail rust. Any time I've had a white car the dealership has taken care of it without a problem.

Google Wisdom Detail, he's in the GTA and he supplies alot of detailing supplies.

Iron-x is simple to use.Spray on and let it dwell a few minutes. It can be put on lightly and spread or agitated with a sponge or other wash media. Rinse throughly and don't let it dry on the surface in the direct sunlight. You will love the job it does on brake dust. Use outdoors as it does have a offensive odor. In Canada you might check Eshine. Other US suppliers will ship but shipping charges suck IMO. There are other brand of de-contamination liquid and gel available but Iron-x is my favorite.
