Thanks for all the replies guys!

Does anyone have a good detailing shop down in oc? Or can recommend a good clay bar for brand for this? I wash my car weekly religiously, but never clayed it.

All clay in the US are the same due to some patent law, any brand you prefer at the auto parts store should be fine for your use. The only differences are the abrasive level of the clay. Look up some tutorials on youtube or elsewhere, clay is generally very easy to use and as long as you keep it lubricated to keep marring down you should be fine.

Industrial fallout/rail dust is common to find on cars even fresh from the factory, there was some on my Ultramarine when I took delivery.

Thanks I'll look up some on amazon and get it there for this weekend.

Yeah that's true. Also doesn't help that there is a railroad halfway between my place and the dealership lol

I'm seeing the dots a lot by the license plate now. Seems they are coming from my exhaust. Wondering if it has anything to do with having aftermarket (nameless 5 inch mufflers).

Thanks again for all the replies!

I'd just not really hard anything called fallout unless it involved "nuclear". But I get it.
