White Spots on Chevy Silverado

[kleinaitis]

Hey guys,

Long story short I was driving my truck around in the middle of nowhere with some friends to watch fireworks on the Fourth. We were honestly no where close to the nearest firework so I do not believe that this is ashes, but I'm sure that I did drive through some smoke at some point during the night. Next day I notice these white spots on my truck. Any ideas on what they are / how to get them out?

Have you tried getting any of it off yet? Guessing not or you wouldn't be asking. Is it only on the bed liner or the paint as well?

Almost looks like splattered paint. And the spots look to range in size from small to dime sized. Looks odd via pics, hard to tell though what it is.

Yeah it doesn't come off with any water or scrubbing or anything like that.

Bed liner / the liner on the windows

What have you tried?

All I've tried some water and a rag - rubbing it and nothing has came off.. Open for suggestions

Maybe try an all purpose cleaner, maybe some simple green. And Bob has good eyes, what is that white in bed of the truck. Have you carried any load, like bags of concrete or something along those lines?

Start with a good APC, like Megs D101 or similar, combined with a little elbow grease.
