Rust spots?

Post by sbull92 »

Hi guys

Was washing the roc on the weekend and noticed loads of tiny brown coloured spots all over the bodywork (I've got Candy white) but they will come off with a bit of scratching with a finger nail.

Any idea what these will be?

Thanks

It's fallout or Tar mate.

Fallout is particles such as iron filings that cling and contaminate the paintwork. Worse if you live or park near railways.

You need Auto Finesse Iron Out to remove, or if it's Tar try Autosmart Tardis.

Iron X is fantastic stuff for iron fallout but there are cheaper alternatives but I don't know if they are as good.

From what I have discoverd some of the cheaper options are crap. I personally have to go to products. Auto finesse iron out. Or carpro ironx

I second that. I used britemax iron max and its crap. Then used iron x and what a difference. Also be careful of buying tardis on flee bay. People bsen receiving tardis but nowhere near tardis inside

Yep britemax isnt very good and it costs more. About the tardis yes your right. I wouldnt buy that from ebay. Its cheap enough anyway from the likes of polished bliss etc. Although id never use 5 litres so I just stick with auto finesse obliterate which is 500ml.

Havent used tardis. Obliterate is really good. Tardis is the most popular due to being so cheap for 5 litres and being a really effective product. As said I would never use that much so just stick with obliterate.
