Anyone having problems with rust spots?

Everyone: THIS IS NOT THE CAR RUSTING. As some have already pointed out...

What you see is completely normal and routine; and especially noticeable on white cars. They are rust specs on the paint, kicked up by the tires as you drive. It's a standard part of winter driving and similar specs can accumulate year-round from other sources like industrial fallout and rail dust from train tracks.

The way to undo this is to detail the car. A clay bar is one way to pull these off. You certainly do not need to make a warranty claim to repaint the car, the paint is fine and not causing this.

Listen to this guy.

Agreed as above .... The last thing is a paint job you don't need.

I washed my car this weekend and I noticed this "rusting" on my White Platinum as well, especially on the rear bumper.

Looks like I have to do a full detailing with clay bar when it gets warmer.

Is it bad to leave it as is for a few months? (Prob won't get warm till Apr for Canada)
