Default Rust specks

I have a 2013 xlt 2 tone green/silver. I've been rubbing off rust specks on the silver paint for almost 2 years now, anyone else getting these. I've heard of rail dust but almost 2 years and countless washes it still can't be. They take lot's of elbow grease to remove also, thanks.

I have the issue here in PA too, especially after the winter and all the salt. I have given it a good go with a clay bar before with very little success. I am probably going to try out some of the Iron X instead. I've read some great reviews and there are some nice write ups in the Detailing section about it.

I don't believe anyone locally carries it. I was going to order some online to try it.

These are nice, and make claying much quicker.

There are several fallout removers that you can just spray on and pressure washer off.
It's caused by metal in the brake dust.

This^ it happens on all lighter colors. On all makes and models. I see it daily. Iron X is legit.
