Aha! Something I actually know about.... My wife had a 2006 Nissan Murano, white in color. She had a lot of problems with spotting on the vehicle, especially in the areas directly behind the front and rear wheels. We brought the vehicle into the dealership to be looked at. This is their explanantion. The small "rust spots" are caused by metal brake dust or metal flecks that come from the brakes pads. This dust adheres itself to the metal on the body and over a very short time this metal brake dust oxidizes and rusts. It is nearly impossible to remove. The dealership did it, but the spots showed up shortly afterward again. We sold the Murano, but that is our experience with this problem. The Nissan dealership said it happens most on their white and yellow vehicles.
