Default Professional Detailer Help?

My sister has a white Civic EX and I used to have a Champ White ITR (Damn thieves!). I noticed that the white paint on her car has some little brown spots in the paint even after a good wash and wax. I also noticed that on my ITR's CW paint these same little brown spots. I even tried cleaning the paint(claying and waxing) to to my ITR and the spots would not come off.

Are these brown spots some kind of contaminant that I should have a professional detailer look at? Could it be from acid rain? I know it will come off because when I rub the spots with my finger it will come off. I dun want this to be the case with my new car's paint so I'd like some suggestions.

Thanx

Was it by any chance on there when the cars were new? If so it could have been rail dust, from when the cars were shipped on railroad cars (if they were shipped in this fashion at any point). Can you feel the brown spots after washing? A clay bar should make quick work of this.

Ahhh.. Try Detailing clay. It will remove almost any surface contaminant. It will make your car feel smooth like a baby's butt...not that i go around feeling them or anything. Try it, you'll love it.
