Ya- I got killed on this one. There was also a lot of wax on the trim. I do this part time, so I don't have enough experience with estimating the work that goes into everything. Thankfully, the truck was almost spotless otherwise and he didn't need the wheels cleaned (was about to put on the summer rims). The best part is they swapped the F-150 with a Tahoe that I'm working on the next couple days that needs some swirl removal. Dark Blue '08. Can't wait... And, they want to bring them back annually.
I ended up using M105 with a polishing pad and also with a terry for hard-to-reach spots. Worked like a charm. M105 have 1001 uses, doesn't it???
I'm totally ordering IronX, though. That looks WAY easier!

Re: how do I remove the little rust-colored dots on white paint

Because they were way below the surface, nothing could reach them without taking off a lot of clear.
IronX got them all!
You are exactly right. IronX is a cutting edge product that has no equal at the moment.

RED clay magic works very well for rail rust spots. Theres usually No need to take
unnecessary paint off unless its really deeply imbedded in the paint.

Re: how do I remove the little rust-colored dots on white paint
I came across this thread because I have noticed rust spots on my 2012 Kia Sportage on the back. On the rear lift. Whatever you want to call it. When I look up close there are many and the look like they are on top of the paint. How is that? Will the product you suggested work. I have tried scrubbing off when I hand washed it the other day. But it did't work. They seem to be only on the the rear lift. I know this thread is old but hoping someone sees it and replies.

Most likely, but can't quite guarantee it considering I can't see the spots you're speaking about. It would most likely be from diving in the rain/snow and having the deposits from the wake. I am a firm believer in this product - and anything CarPro makes. I've tried other similar products to IronX, but IronX is the best.

Thanks for this thread. I ran into this today while detailing a white Infinty. Grabbed my iPad and searched through the forum. Problem handled.
