Orange Speckles on Summit White Car
I currently do not have a image to upload but on my 2012 Summit White Camaro that has only 6000 miles is already having paint issues.. The dealer said it is "Rail Dust" in which they clay barred which did make it appear better.. But after around a month later it is appearing again.
This is completely unacceptable being a brand new vehicle in which has never been in an environment that would let any overspray of any sort of chemical or paint to get on it. So now I ask.. What should I do? |

It could be, whare do you live, vear a rail yard or manufacurer. Air contaminants can cause the It was bad in areas like atlanta when I lived there.

It's rail dust. Clay bar will take it off but it can come back. Try a product called iron x and a good car wash to help keep it from returning

So I can spray Iron X on the whole car where it is practically all contaminated? |

Clay bar and a good wax always worked for me. It is really common on the light colored cars. Like stated, Iron X or a similar product can work, but I never had to go that far. I would clay bar myself and apply a good quality wax!

I had the same thing on mine after receiving it from the dealer. A good wash and wax took care of the problem. I noticed it the most under the trunk lid.

My yellow car has a white base coat so any chips I get look white (and I have plenty of chips after 3 years). I think the paint on these cars is line the candy coating of an M&M. It would be weird to find out that white has an orange basecoat.

I've had a lot of white cars with the oranges specs from hell. They are very hard to remove ,but they are also a fact of life. I don't really see this as being GM's problem.
