So I'm new to this and my 13' TW Fit has a lot of small "rust-colored" dots mainly on the front bumper, but pretty much all over the body. I wasn't sure if its normal, and will post a pic as soon as the rain stops over here, but can someone post a close up of there TW FIT's paint?

When did you purchase it? it sounds like rail dust from transportation. Will usually come off when detailed.

I got those small dots on my white integra. I was told it was diesel fuel. Mine came off with ease using a clay bar.

Mine was covered with them the first Spring. Clay Bar will fix it.

Those specs are iron from brake dust. That's normal and can be removed easily with Iron X. It's just more noticeable on white cars.

Thanks, I will look into it. I tried the clay bar and just about wore my shoulder out. Got some of it out, but didn't have the time this morning. I just don't want the paint to suffer since the car is brand new...hopefully I can get some pics up for this thread soon.

Geez OP it should not be that hard. Use lots of detailer and keep it wet.

Yeah, it seems like you didn't read the instructions on the clay bar.

Should glide across the paint fairly smoothly, if not, you could be damaging the paint further.
