i was washing my car (a white evo 9) that is only 7 months old i started 2 c a **** load of little brown spots on it. later that day i was talking 2 my buddy that worked in a bodyshop n he told me that it was rail dust. this is when the car gets a clear coat n be4 it drys they ship it on a train n the dust clings 2 the paint. i was told that u only really c this on white cars i was wondering if any other white evo owners had this problem.

 

i actually saw something like on my 2005 electric blue.

there were one or two spots on the trunk that were tiny little rust blooms, but were under the cleacoat.

 

yea i have it all over my car

 

Well i am the proud owner of an 06 IX AND im also a LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER for a living and i cant atest to the fact that if some loco engines sit idling and there is some condensation in the air or WORSE IT RAINS.......yeah there will be little specs of diesel and carbon over anything thats near the stack of the locomotive.There ya go!

 

But i serioulsly DOUBT thats what it is....probably just the elements in the air and nothing that couldnt be rubbed out with some light polishing compound

 

I had rail dust on my car when I picked it up. I then told the dealer to clean it all off before I get it... They did... and now I am happy. There is suppose to be a specail way for you to clean it. At least they said they did it in a specail way...
