Default Dots of rust...

I was looking at my friend's car (EP) the other day and he was showing me some little dots of rust he has on his roof...has anyone else experienced this? He washes and waxes his car using good products...so I dont think it's anything he did.

Is the car white? If so, it's normal (atleast I think so). My rear bumper is starting to show that.

it could be little rust spots from metal chips.. You can remove them with a clay bar.

How big are the rust spots?? if they're really tiny dots of rust then like I said before, they probably are metal dust. It can come from anywhere, like your brake pads or some one cutting metal and the dust gets on your car. Just try and wash your car, then use a claybar to get rid of the rust. Do a search on it, it's been covered before.

Just clean the car and then clay bar. Ive had my car for a year and no matter what I do, those little spots keep popping up. I've claybar'ed mine a few times and it does the trick.
