Wash polish and wax. Also dont park under a tree.

Also hear from other ppl the its something like industrial rust or some crap, not sure how true.

Use automotive clay to remopve surface contaminants, dont scratch it off as you will damage your paintwork

It's going to take a bit of effort (but will all be removed with some elbow grease - come back and tell us about the level of hurt you're feeling) :lol:

• Warm water wash (2Bucket Method with your choice of shampoo)
• Clay the vehicle until its ALL gone http://www.crazydetailer.co.za/index.ph ... x&cPath=14
• Polish/Wax

Voila!
