Orange spots from brake dust on white car
 

Alright well it seems that going threw winter rly made them come out. I have a bunch of small orange spots on my car from brake dust and I cant seem to take them off during a regular car wash, there is far too many to take em off one by one with my nail. Any of you guys know a technique I could use to take them off or a product?

clay bar then wax

I get them all over. Clay bar is the only solution; I have to do my car twice a year.

How about Iron-X? It's a spray detailers use to wash the car with....

In case you're wondering it's call "rail dust". As was stated above use clay bar to remove it. I get tons of it on my car so I swapped to HPS pads which dust way less.

+1 on clay bar.
but while your doing clay bar remember to do all proper steps. don't just clay bar to get them off and think of it as job complete..

-wash/dry
-clay bar
-polish
-wax

Yeah ill buy the Meguiar clay kit. Wash the car then ill dry it up use clay kit then finished it off with a turtle wax

Any of you guys tried the Meguiars Ultimate Quick wax?

Meguiar's Canada

Spent 2 hours clay baring that shit off my car what a pain in the ass

Ill be doing it this weekend. Did not feel like washing it then clay baring and waxing it when its 10 degree's outside.

I've used it. I personally don't like it. It seems to streak too much unless you're in the right conditions.(temperature). Too cold or too hot and I didn't get a good outcome.

I personally LOVE chemical guys's products. I would suggest this: HYBRID V7- Optical Select-High Gloss Spray Sealant & Detailer (16oz) over the Mequire spray wax. I've had nothing but extremely impressive results with CG's stuff. Once you try it, you'll be sold for life.

Using a clay bar will not completely remove the imbedded iron particles. Think of them as a splinter in your skin and rubbing the clay bar will only remove the top layer.

Highly recommend Iron X, I've used it on a few cars with amazing results and the best part is its so easy to use. Best part is after you IronX, when you clay next its much quicker.

Check out this vid on a brand new car getting some Iron X.

Yeah, I get the same shit, but I wash my car weekly so it never gets a chance to build up. Between that and soot spots on the rear hatch, cleaning is a motherfucker.

Personally, mine come off. I just keep the car clean and it comes off when I go over it with my hand-mitt-spongy-thingy. And any left over come off in the drying and/or waxing process.

That IronX looks interesting. Any idea where to find it?

Detailed Image is a great place.

Thanks for that... Awesome site, but unfortunately they don't ship to Canada. Autogeek does however, and they also carry it. I'll give it a try.

Autogeek is great too. I didn't realize you're in CA. :pat:

You should take some before/after photos/video when you try it. I'd like to see how well it works for you.
