Any great ideas on removing Brake Dust Rust Spots on Top of Car?

Question

I purchased a car from a dealer off of Ebay. This car is in great condition (2003 Mustang Conv with 9,000 miles). The part of the dealer's lot was under a large bridge with tons of large trucks. There are tons of little rust spots on the car from the brake dust falling on the top of the car. I noticed the spots when I bought the car, and told them that I would be satisfied if they were able to remove them from the hood. They used a power buffer and it came right off. I thought I could remove these with a little "elbow grease", but it is proving to be a huge job. Anyone have any ideas on how to remove these spots without damaging a perfect paint job?

I'm thinking that having a professional use a power buffer. The dealer used this on the hood and it took almost all of them off. I just wish I would of had the dealer do the whole thing. These spots are just the metal flakes from brakes of large trucks that have deposited on top of the cars paint. I do not believe that I would need to repaint the vehicle.

Thanks for your input!

Answer 1

i own a repair ,and restoration shop,and a good power buffer is about the easiest way to do this,you can rub all day and not get all of them off of it,and some of the ones they got off may come back also,,its rust,this means it went all the way to the metal on it,,so it may wind up having to be re-painted anyway but a good power buffer,is the fastest way to do this,,good luck, i hope this help,s.

You must have bought your car in LA. power buffer with a cheap tooth paste. ellbogrease using rubbing compound WD40 and dish soap. you may find that if the car has sat for any length of thime the spots will keep popping up. if you paint the car make sure you sand it down to the primer and reapply the primer and use a three coat clear coat paint application

Go to an Autobody Supply shop and purchase a chunk of ...
"Surface Prep Clay." You use this with soap and water and rub it over the surface of your car. It will remove overspray as well.
Afterword you follow up with a hand wax. It works great!
