The truck itself isnt rusting but theres rust that stuck to the clearcoat. Its brake dust of some form…I had it happen on mine too. Its a PITA to get out. ---

Clay will get some of it off but a polish is normally needed, ask NedZ32 how much of a difference a polish made on his white A4!!! ---

I used to get it on my white Elantra all the time and a clay bar took care of it. Unfortunately I didnt have one at home and didnt feel like running out and getting one tonight because it would be dark by the time I finished. Ive got a jar of Turtle Wax Ice and I did the hood and it looks good. ---

Good test is putting a thin plastic bag over your hand and running it over the finish. You’ll feel every particle and contaminant that’s still stuck to your paint after a handwash. I use Meg’s claybar twice a year and it leaves my finish feeling like glass. Also makes for a wicked shine combined with a wax/sealant as there’s no more surface impurities to prevent the light from reflecting uniformly. ![http://i42.tinypic.com/2aeo26d.jpg](http://i42.tinypic.com/2aeo26d.jpg) ---
