Hi all !
Total noob here. First time I ever picked up car wax was last week.. thats how new I am to this..
Anyway, recently got a new car, Brilliant white - but now thinking maybe i should've gone for something like gunmetal !.
Whilst washing it i noticed a few small patches of what looks like orange (rust coloured ??) smudges on the paint work. I scoured the internet and found some reference to rail/brake dust causing orange spots but this is not that as far as i can see. I have attached a picture. it didn't come out quite well on photo but you can just about see what I mean.

It seems to be under the clearcoat. I cannot feel it at all with my fingernail. OR could that be because waxed over it previously?
I was tempted to try some polish, but was hesitant to polish new paint unneccesarily. Thought I'd better get some expert advice before proceeding. What is it ?
Thanks in advance for anyones help.
