    Hi everyone,



    I have a white 2002 Accord, with about 8400 miles. Recently I see small
    brown spots, rusty kind of color, on the upper edge of my rear bumper, and
    along upper edge of the wide metal bar under the doors. I can clean them,
    not easy but I can do it. Now this small spots seem to reappear.

    Also right next to my fuel door, there is a gray mark that looks like
    running paint, but it's not bumpy like paint bubbles. It looks like it's
    under the surface.





    Anyone with similar experience, or with some insight on this?





    Thanks in advance.

    I can't comment on the little brown dots since I've never seen that before
    but the grey mark near the fuel door sounds like a stain from spilling a bit
    of gas from a fill-up. If the gas wasn't wiped up right away, it's possible
    that it left a permanent stain on the car. After all, I can't imagine
    gasoline because very good for a car's finish if left there for a period of
    time. Try using a strong but safe cleaner to see if it wiped off. Also, if
    you car is that new, have the dealer check it out. If it's due to a flaw in
    workmanship, you may be able to argue to have it repaired under warranttee.

    Probably rail dust, buy a clay bar and the lubricant it requires and see if
    that doesn't take it off, or stop by a detail shop!

    In fact the running "pain paint" spot is more close to the left rear light
    edge. I tried to clean it but it just seems like it's few layers under the
    surface.
    Also I looked more careful, and I can see more of these small brown spots.
    Like I said, I did cleaned this posts already and they still come back. I
    don't have any railroads around me, and probably you can tell by the
    mileage, this car it's not driven very much.
