Hi All

During my latest car cleaning spree i have noticed some very very small but annoying orange spots on the paintwork on the rear bumper dots really and all over so not impact damge. It almost looks this the beginning of rust spots but then the bumper is plastic so it cant be :( . I have never come across this before coming from owning three black cars in a row.

Anyone any ideas how to remove this everything i have tried has failed so far :yes:

Hi it's iron fallout. So yes it will look like rust spots. Can easily be removed with products like car pro ironx or auto finesse iron out. I use af iron out and and it's great works really fast. Be warned though that fallout removers smell foul!!

This is what i use : http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog ... -cat4.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This is Ironx in action, exactly the same as iron out. Product turns purple when it's reacting with iron

Ahh ok never come across this before, watching the video of the DS3 looks pretty bad, my rear bumper has easily 30 plus marks on it at a glance they are not visable but they are bugging me. Thanks for the recommendations on a remover just ordered a bottle of Auto Finesse Iron Out - 500 ml from the place you mentioned

and some Auto Finesse Mercury - 100 ml metal polish needed some anyway

Thanks for that

Richard

Its more noticible on white cars for the obvious reason that it gives off a orange colour.No problem :) I stocked up on iron out a while ago when they had 3for2 on ... Just be prepared for the smell when you use it. Also don't let it dry on the paintwork. Spray on leave for few mins rinse off, Job done :yes: Mercury is good metal polish aswell.
