spots won't come off

theboz32 · 02-11-2009, 04:25 PM

i recently bought a wrx hatch and i haven't gotten a chance to wash it since i bought it in october. i just washed it because it was a nice day and the car was covered with white from the salt on the roads. i just went through the car wash because i didn't have the time to hand wash it which i usually do but i just looked at the car and it looks like there are small spots all over the car some are black like oil almost and some look like the color of the car but won't come out like water stains it's on my glass too and won't come off what is it and how can i get it off?

i assume it's salt correct me if i'm wrong.

Pics will help.

Are they rust spots in the paint? See my thread where I removed rust spots from my car

Try a clay bar to remove the spots.

edit: do you park under/near a tree at all?

pics help. it might be road tar in which case i'd just use degreaser. it might also be pitch i have not found a good way to get that off. im shure someone will pipe up with a answer.

for water spots and what not try 3M rubbing compound theres a bunch but #39002 works awesome. its a light compound but don't go to crazy. I get mine at NAPA but ive seen it at autozone as well. GL bro!

You have never washed it since you bought it? 5 Months?
