I was washing my truck a couple of weeks ago and I noticed very small pin head size rust spots on the surface of my paint. I immediately drove over to the dealership as the truck is a 2004. I was informed that this was known as rail dust. Apparently small metal shavings, filings, etc. can settle on the surface after painting. Fortunately, they have a service bulletin on how to fix this. It affects 1994 to present toyota tacomas. There was no charge for the cleaning process they used to remove these spots. I would suggest checking out your vehicles and taking them into to get looked at if you have "rail dust"

I had the same thing happen to my old S-10. You have to go in within a certain amount of time, I missed the time frame on mine and fought the dealer tooth and nail and they still wouldn't fix it. Sucked big time.

Definately use the clay, if i remember right, the tsb the dealer uses is actually a three stage acid wash. No good on the paint if you ask me... Clay Magic and a little lubricant takes it right off, then just coat it with some wax.
