Default Rail Dust & Clay Bars

I have a Crystal White IS250, which has quite a bit of rail dust. It is not bad, but it is noticeable.

I have tried Meguiar's Clay Kit, which works and will remove the rust, however, it takes a good 5-10 minutes of rubbing to fully remove some of the larger spots (this is per spot, not per 2' x 2' area).

My question is: Is there another product, perhaps more aggressive, that would help me cut down on the amount of time I would need to remove all of the rail dust?

There are more aggressive clays available, yes. Some of the stronger ones may leave some minor surface marring behind as a result though. Its easily polished out however. So if you are doing a regular detail that would include a polish after your claying, this really isnt too significant.. but I like to mention it so its no surprise

Where would you say the "cut" of the Meguiar's clay bar falls between the ones you have listed?

It probably falls in the light clay series.. the gray or elastic bar strength.

is this clay kit the one you can get in stores? if it is, it is more on the mild side. usually "consumer strength" products tend to be more on the mild side. i would think this would be due to liability reasons just in case the products aren't used correctly and damage would be minimal
