Rust speckles in paint?
I have a glacier frost GS which i decided to partially clay over the weekend. After claying the section it felt very smooth but I saw speckles of rust in the paint. Is this from the paint or particles in the air?

Got any pictures?

Clay will only do so much, it won't get them all. Here is what is necessary and what's done on the dealership level to address the problem. It's not a simple 1 step deal, read the section in this pdf format under "Decontamination kit #M-32" Even though it's a Mazda TSB, it applies to all rail dust and industrial fallout problems.

You can purchase those chemicals here;

Though they're sold in bulk containers. It might be worthwhile to email Ron Ketcham at Automotive International and ask if they could sell you sample bottles. Either that, or take it back to the dealership and have them read what must be done. They should know how to do this already. It's very common.
Left unfixed, the particles will cause paint damage over time, requiring a repaint at a certain point as the micro rust particles attack further into the paint.
