Why not make a habit of it? I clay every couple of months to get all of that crap off of my baby.

Clay bar will take most of it off if its still on the top of the paint. If it's been able to eat through the clear coat at all (google 'rail dust removal'), it might be a more serious problem.

clay bar will take it off. The pearl paint is prone to this type of issue. I had the same problem with my cwp cx7. Try and wash/wax it more frequent and you wont have this issue anymore.

CWP owners know that shit! If you have a fine attention to detail, get ready for 2-3 hours of claybarring.. Find a good quick detailer as lubricant online..

my yellow P5 attracts the little dots of rust as well... Clay bar works well.

Go pick up a Meguiars or Mothers clay bar kit and hit the whole car with that. If you start noticing this more frequently, you'll have to clay every 3-6 months to protect the paint. Once your done, wash the car again, then put a good coat of wax (or polish, then wax) over the paint to protect it.
For more info on products, head over to the detailing section of the forum, Thrillride is great for product advise.

Dont know if this has been said yet. Have you tried to claybar it yet?

+elevinty billion on CLAYBAR!
Should take light spots out easily. Just keep working at those spots. If they have been "set in" you might need a slightly more agressive claybar than your "OTC" meguiar's or mother's kit at Autozone or whatnot. You can find that at Autogeek.net.

And for someone who really doesn't like waxing often and has a white car, I'd recommend a synthetic sealant for durability and longevity over a wax. There are a few out there... I personally like Meguiar's #21 Synthetic Sealant. But I'm no professional.
thanks you guys are alot of help! im headin to checker right now and i got all weekend to do this project.. last time i waxed it took me 2 or 3 hours

I have this on both of our silver Mazdas. Claybar did nothing. I had to use Meguiars Scratch X to remove the rail dust.

I had the same thing on my car, I did use the clay bar and after just rubbing it a bunch over the spots it cleaned some of them off slowly but surely. There was just a few that even the claybar didn't do anything.

If you are having to clay every couple months, that means your chosen wax/sealant product isn't doing the job (or you just aren't using one).

Definitely need to wax more than once a year. Even the best products won't hold up that long on a daily driver.
Come over to the detailing section (see my sig) and there is tons of info on good products. Check the stickies there.

claybar is good and will work, but it also takes off all your polish and wax. So dont just claybar, its worse if you just do that as the paint wont be protected. Claybar is to remove shit like that rust crap, tar, gun, bird shit. Then you have to polish and wax after that. Dont forget :)
