Rust blooms/spots on Whiteout/SWP - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Bach415 · 03-22-2013, 01:42 AM

I'm just wondering if any of you other Whiteout/SWP owners have any small rust blooms/spots occurring all over your car. It's annoying me on how there's rust blooms/spots on my month old whiteout after the 2nd time washing it. The dealership is saying that is it normal and that all cars should have it because of the pollutants in the air(which I think is bs cause this car is less than a month old!).

I've had some but got them off using a claybar. Not too big a deal... better than actual rust from the steel underneath the paint. If you decide to do it, be patient and gentle; it may not seem to have any effect in the beginning but the spots will eventually come off.

There are more details on detailing websites if you do a quick search.

Alright. It's just a painful sight in my opinion. Is there any detailers people can recommend that does a good job but doesn't charge a whole lot? Might just look into a detailer help me get rid of this and detail the car at the same time.

There are a bunch of threads about this in the "cosmetic maintenance" section of the forum...

Strange not much info on this topic in the NorCal section...

Thanks a lot for the links to the thread. Already bought IronX and it should be on the way. Wax/polish is next to be bought on the list.

Bought a 2013 off the lot 2 months ago and just noticed a bunch. Prob from being stores outside off-site in a dealer lot for over a year? :,(

Rail dust? I had never heard of that till now. Now that I think of it, I've seen two of those tiny rusty spots on my rear fender. I always thought they were tiny rock chips caused from having wide wheels in the front.

I had one on my front bumper near the emblem. Thought it was a stain of some sort. Came off after clay and waxing. Didn't even have to polish.
