Rust spots on top of paint

zeddreaming · 10-08-2011, 01:25 AM

Little off topic of Z's, but my girls car is not taken care of. She has developed the small rust spots on top of paint. Can these be corrected? Would something like a clay bar get rid of them.

thanks

Does she park her car near train tracks? It's usually small metal filings or metal dust that lands on the paint and sits there that causes this. I'm sure you can polish it out, I'm no pro however. Just making a suggestion on how you might avoid it in the future

No she parks at a condo. She does not wash her car too much. It weird, her paint does not have bubble rust it just sits on top of paint.
