If you look really close at my car, there are a few little tiny black hard things in the clear coat. When I had a white car, they were all over the rear bumper. This led me to believe it's due to exhaust. Anway, I noticed today I had some on my Z's spoiler. And the z-18 claybar did not remove them. The only thing that removes them is Meguiars Step 1, but that is too much of a pain to do to all parts of the car. They are not noticeable "specs" in the paint. More of a nuisance than anything. I'm sure other members here with white cars have seen them.

Anyone have the same problem?

 

bump?

 

on my friends white '01 Corolla... he had the same black spots. it turned out to be rust (WTF!) its a 2001 and has rust already!?! anyways, claybar took it right out. If its not rust... have you tried using a quick detail spray?? if your car is waxed... the detail spray wipes off almost anything stuck on there.

 

hey i have a CS and i noticed that i have them too but mine are more of a dark orange color, very tiny and will not come off with a clay bar and they are most prevelant on the rear of the car! I have no idea what they are but would like to get them off before crystal guarding my car....i have tried Fast Wax on my wifes honda and it worked great at removing them but i dont want to go over the whole car with that stuff...any suggestions

 

LOL mine are orange too. I was like wtf is this **** the first time I saw it. It's normal I guess. I wouldnt sweat it really unless you really have a lot of time on your hands and/or this Z will be a showcar

 

hey guys i did a major detail on the car this weekend and those spots finally came off after about 5 hours of claybarring...so they will come of with some work...then i put CG on and the silver is a shining...

 

Rail dust???
