Well I was washing my car this morning and noticed a bunch of little rust spots on the back of my car (back bumper and back trunk). Its not noticable til you put your eyes down near the paint job, but you can feel it. It feels like little bumps! Does anyone else have this prob. or know of a solution?

The bumper is plastic, so no rust there. Most likely there is some crap on your car. You might try a claybar on it.

If I buy a Professional Buffer the one that is machined and wax the WHOLE car including bumpers do you think that would take the spots off??

TCrazy has something similar happen to him (though just about everything that could go wrong with his car did). I don't know that he ever posted a resolution.

Wax will not remove particles in or on your paint. Try a claybar.

I have some little black ##### all over my car, but you can't tell unless your like.00001 away from the car. They come off when you scratch em with your nail, maybe its some sort of tree sap.

Clay Bar. makes the surface smooth as silk.

Yeah it makes those vagina mistakes just melt away...you know they charge a lot of money at a spa for mud packs...

Never heard of it, where can i pick up for cheap?

 

[nY1018]

zaino... but i wouldnt say cheap.

claybar is becoming more and more popular, you should be able to find it at your local pepboys, autozone, or any other store of the sort..

Well I took the car to the dealership today and found out what those spots are from! ACIDIC RUST from all of the factories around florida.... He even was nice enough to show me how to take it off with some compound and it works or you can take it to a professional detailer and have them detail the WHOLE car with a compound then wax....

 

[wolo]

Glad to hear that its nothing serious.

Was it in the rain or what?

I have a tree that puts rust-colored sap on all the cars around.....at least I thought. Maybe it's Florida!!!!

 

[06TCDriv3r]

Prehensile - What it is, is from the Acid in the air from the orange factories and the rain + acid = rust spots ALL over the car, but mainly the back because thats where all the rain goes when your moving and then it stops raining and mainly dries in the back!

thanks 06. So that's a yes. it's the rain. thanks. I need to warn my friends in fla. What part of FLA is that?

Acidic rust? That's interesting. I'v never heard of such, but I have heard of rail dust on cars. Most cars are transported via train and the train wheels kick up rusty dust off the rails that gets embedded in car paint. If you pass railroads a fair amount you'll notice it get into your paint over and over again. I clay bar mine once or twice a year due to this.
