Hello all. I just did a quick wash on my silver JLU and I am finding small rust spots all over her. Anyone else experiencing this?

Might be rail dust. I’d clay bar and wax it. Clay bar should pull out the imperfections on the clear coat

I am with @rustyshakelford, it is rail dust. Don't panic, I did when I saw it on a new Ram I purchased. I took my Ram back to the dealer and they did a full detail removing the rail dust at no charge.

I’ve also had one do this as Casey said the dealer did a detail on it and it never came back.

Ohh wow. I hope you are right. It’s on vertical surfaces though... I think I’ll try the clay bar and see how it goes.

The rig has 9k miles on it now. I wonder if the dealer would still detail it?

Get som Iron-X and spray it on the surface and it will dissolve these spots.

Also your doors are aluminum. So it doesn’t rust. It might oxidize but that looks white. So yeah you can fix that with a clay bar.
