Might be tree sap.
If it is get some bug/tar/sap remover...Turtle wax sells one...
If not try a clay bar...I doubt that its rust since the sheet metal is all galvanized.

Sounds like the spots I have on my 97 ex in Frost White. They are only around the wheel wells. Cant see them unless you get up close. I've never tried to rub them out with polish or the like though..

Post some pics.

it's fallout. common for cars to get it, just use a claybar to remove it. Then fresh coat of wax.

If your car has little brown spots forming on it, you haven't been giving it enough love

dont worry i have a white pearl type -s and i had that problem after i didnt wash my car for a little while and it is like tree sap or some dirt particle, and like some of the guys said just use a clay bar from like maguires (or however you spell it) and it comes right off and it makes your paint really smooth

Its fallout - its on all cars you'll only see it on the white ones though. Claybar and wax it. Dont worry its normal.
