How do you get rid of rust speckles on white paint? Also how do you stop them from coming back?

It is not only a problem on white car, it's only that you don't see it on darker colored car.
You can use a clay bar or a fall-out remover to remove those.

In Canada, Napa sells a good stuff for this purpose. It is called "BodyPro Liquid Fall Out Remover".

I clayed the trcuk once but they came back. Will the fall out remover cure it or just help take them off?

Re: Rust Speckles on white paint

It will just take them off.
Not much would stop them to come back I think as they are due to brake dust and industrial fall out. Like I said, every car have them on, it's only that you can see them easier on light colored cars.

Search for "Rail Dust"

Top half clayed on my Explorer, bottom half and inside the emblem not clayed (I later removed the emblem and cleaned/placed new emblem on)




They will come back in time, because as you use your brakes, filings will be reintroduced to the area, as well as normal industrial fallout. It's not your car rusting, it's the filings themselves, etc. rusting on top of the paint.

I know this thread is a bit old but I had this problem and almost lost my mind until my local pro saved me. He gave me a bottle of iron x which is for wheels but works wonders for paint if you do it properly. Part of its design is to pull metal deposited from brake dust and fallout out of paint. It pulled out small to medium particles and the "rust fog" out of my paint then some clawing and hand applied 105 for the rest. He specified not to use a machine since once the particles break free, you don't want the machine grinding them back into your paint and scratching or re-depositing. As soon as you get them out, throw that rag in the dirty bin and go back to your normal routine. Hope this helps someone else or if there is a better way/problem with this method they will add to this thread.

I meant claying not clawing, sorry.

Iron X is great stuff!

Re: Rust Speckles on white paint

IronX is a nice product for sure as claying takes forever and only shaves off the topical contamination.

It is $$$$$$ but what else are you going to use?

Re: Rust Speckles on white paint

One question I have about IronX...

Is it only available thru the various on line sellers?

Just curious, I need to get 'smore', but always leary ordering liquids this time of year (freezing temps).

Thanx...

Re: Rust Speckles on white paint

Thanx Mat, seems that Autoality is a 'local' store for you. They are in PA only.

Just to add, I Googled Ironx...no joy for getting it local to me...just have to wait for spring.

Thanx,

Bill
