alarmgui is on a distinguished road
It is Acid rain. It sticks TOO the paint. We use a soap/Muratic acid mix ( at my Ford Dealership i work at)and a nylon bristle broom/brush to wash the car. JUST DON'T LET THE STUFF STAY ON UR WINDOWS or it'll mark it up for a while. Shade, small areas and rinse often. Then wax her up good.

After you scratch most of them off you'll want to wash and wax it good. Just don't dig too hard when doing it.

I suppose it's possible that it's from all the salt and rust on the ships and all over the shipyards. No telling what the ports in Japan look like but I've seen plenty of shipping containers to suspect that's a likely culprit.

It seems to actually be contact rust that has sprayed on the cars from something and it stuck real good. It's not in the paint itself just on the surface.
