    I'd try clay and use a paint cleaner.

      It probably is rail dust that is showing up. Definitely clay, then use a paint cleaner.

            There is a good point.. is it like rust drips off of something else, or is it like small rust spots/flakes on the surface?

                Yeah, clay just to be complete, but probably the cleaner/wax, or a dedicated paint cleaner will be what you need.

                  Hey,

                  Are they just rust colored stains on the paint, but not actually bubbling paint or anything like that? If it is just stains, I would use something much stronger than Meguiar's Cleaner Wax. I would suggest using something like Meguiar's M02 Fine Cut Cleaner, or perhaps D151 PRC. Pro Wax also makes a strong RV/Marine/Airplane Wax (P-38) that will cut through aviation fuel build up on planes to scum on boats. I use a lot of it when I come across a situation where I need a strong and durable cleaner wax. But if you use the Pro Wax do use in a well ventilated area. Otherwise, stick to M02 topped with your LSP of choice or the D151 which is an AIO type of product.

                      I had some on my Range Rover and M105 on a polishing pad and the Flex took them off completely with little effort.
