is my car rusting?

[Dan_335i]

the rust is on the paint. the black box indicates where the rust is. it is on both sides.


here is a picture from my iphone. tomorrow i will take a picture with a dedicated camera for better quality.
The iphone camera only picked up 3 rust spots. But my eye see's more
I only noticed when i was detailing my car. even clay barred the entire car.

Well, it's possible those are rock chips that have gone down to the metal and started to rust, but given the location and what I can see from the picture I'd say that is rotor bits that have embedded themselves in the paint.

The claying that you have done may have only removed the upper part (above surface) leaving the (below surface) part that's embedded in the paint. You need to do an acid decon or use one of the iron-eating products like Iron-X.

First of all, relax, I know you have a cool car that you care about, but this isn't really a big deal. Second, I wouldn't bring it to the dealer, that's going to result in a bunch more problems.

This Iron X Iron Remover, CQuartz IronX, Paint Cleaner, paint decontamination should take care of your problem in a jiffy. Or you can try the lemon-scented version CarPro Iron X Lemon Scent, auto iron remover

The next course of action is to apply Iron-X to the affected area as well as the rest of the car.

Yes, that's the same stuff.

I don't know, I've never used Iron-X, I'm an acid guy (as some people have noted). I would follow the directions, you can't go wrong with that.
