hey guys! how's it going! hope your all having a wonderful Thanksgiving! **thanks for your guys' help in advance** well, i am currently trying to bring a 2010 lexus Es350 (white) back to a normal daily driver look (not showroom look but decent to look at) i already iron x'd this but these "rust spots" remain.. should i clay it too? also, how should i tackle the headlight ?(4th picture)
i do have the GG 2nd gen and pads and 105/205 ,clay, lube, etc the basics.

what i plan to order pretty soon: -rupes lhr12e Duetto w/o the kit if that ever comes out... if it doesn't looks like I'm getting the 15,
-the "Nanoskin Autoscrub Towel – Medium Grade" *should that be strong enough to remove those spots?*
-and "SON1C Wax Carnaubavore"

When you applied IronX, did it turn purple? Yes, you should clay after using IronX.

Are you sure that is an iron particulate and not tree sap? It looks more like tree sap to me.

Ironx never hurt i would get a good sealant too then top with a wax

forgot to put it when i read the comments! my mom's company is near an airport like walking distance across the street so there's that factor in too!

yeah it turned purple and some of them disappeared but the ones you see are on!

Are you sure that is an iron particulate and not tree sap? It looks more like tree sap to me.
but the thing is it couldn't be tree sap because our parking spot is about 10 ft -25ft away from trees in each direction!

yeah! i iron x'd it (hahah if thats a term <- ) but yeah i got jet seal 109 and the dp poll coat paint sealant. going to pick up son1c's wax soon too!

Is it above the surface or below?
how do i find this out? when i run my hand i can feel them! on my car it is totally different, on my evo 9 i am able just to lightly wash it away on this lexus it's like on there and i gotta use some aggressiveness with the clay that i have to remove it!

Try gently washing with WARM water
thats a perk of where i live! even though we don't have hose spouts, i am able to run a hose from my kitchen sink down my stairs to my parking and control the water temp! so on cold days i wash with warm water ;)!

clay, if that doesn't work I'd try 3M Adhesive Remover.

Yeah let me take some fresh pictures tomorrow morning but the forum doesn't allow the full resolution so I have to make the image smaller

Autozone by me I'm not sure all stores carry it
