So my wife washes her van today, and she notices that all over the thing are these small brown dots of something. On first glance, you`d think "rust!" But that`s not it--these dots are also on all the plastic bits and pieces (bumper covers, etc.)
As I put a fingernail to these spots, they do somewhat come off. When I scrape a bit on the bumper cover, it looks like the spot is smearing--as if it`s a bit sticky/greasy.
This silver Honda van is 1.5 years old and is always garaged. These spots weren`t there last fall. The only thing I can think of is industrial pollution of some kind--maybe something we drove through, or something that came down in the rain. I have no idea, as I`ve never seen anything like this before.
Anyway, I *think* that these spots would come off with the correct persuasion. Any idea what I should use that would persuade this gunk to come off but leave the clearcoat alone? Something that`s useful for both metal and plastic surfaces?
Sorry, but I know nothing about detailing and am afraid to I`d use something way too rough for this. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
