Claybar does the trick if it is rust from rail dust which it appears to be. I used claybar after a few months and that did the trick. I only ever saw one small spot.

 

Ahhh, those lovely little freckles of brake dust rust. I use Turtle Wax Bug and Tar remover. Spray it on, let it soak for about 5 minutes, and it rubs right off. When I bought my Sedona used, it was COVERED in brake dust rust behind all the wheels. Within .5 hour, it was gone. Stuff works miracles.

 

Well done Torben300..... those are some scary pics!!!!. Do you live near a railway?..... is that the cause as others suggest?. Are you happy with the diesel?.

 

Oh tempest....rail dust is not because you live near railway it is because the cars are shipped by rail once they arrive by ship from Korrea!! When the paint is still fresh and clean even though some areas are covered with wrap the rail dust imbeds in the paint. Over time little flecks of rail dust rust. Clay bar (bought at automotive shops) is a clay bar that you rub with a lubricant over the surface of the paint to remove all the little imperfections out of the paint. Works great

 

Tempest.. I live, and drives as far away from railways as you can imagin, so that's not the root course. I think it's comming from the brakes, as i can hear they "rumbles" quit a bit in the morning the first few times i brake, espesially her in the winter time. Drive 90% highway and they are always covered i salt, that dont help either.

Very happy with the diesel, never had a problem (Knock on wood). Drives 380 km to work and back again 3-4 times a week. Keep i on 110 km/h on the GPS, and have a fuel consumption of 6,1L/100 km over the last 42000 km.

Forgot to say that I gave the Soul a good Wax after. Used Sonax Wax with nano.

 

The brakes do rumble for the first few applications on a cold morning as the rust is cleaned off the discs. I dont have the rust spot problem (but several others on the USA forum have), just wondering if the disc pad spec is different in different climates like yours?.

 

same issue

I had the same problem, though certainly not as drastic looking as those photos. I ended up using a clay bar then waxing. No idea how it's holding up now with the car almost constantly covered in road salt and grime through the winter. Incidentally I do park at a train station, though I find it hard to believe the bits travel that far to get to my car.

 

But surely the cars are properly cleaned after the train ride and before the customer collects it!.

 

HAHAHA!!!!! don't count on it.

 

Same thing happened to mine. I just took it into the dealer and they fixed it up for me.

 

What does the acid do to the clear coat on the paint? I always try to find
products that say they are ok to use on clear coat.

 

claybar gets the freckles off without using acid.

 

I had a white 1999 SAAB, when I replaced the brakes I jhad these little spots a short time later, turns out it was the cheap disc brakes wearing in spewing little tiny pieces of IRON onto the side of my car which stuck and eventually looked like little rust spots. I was able to able to buff them off easily.

Don't know if this is what you have going on but I thought I would mention it, I only use ceramic brakes now.
