Sometimes after a vehicle is washed, the little dark spots look orangish like rust and are very hard to see (usually cause you're being blinded from the white paint in the sun) the size of pin heads.

Tar removers don't often work because the fallout is not solvent based so you wind up thinking that you're stuck with them. Most often, rubbing it down with a claybar after washing will take them off with no harm done.

Not everyone with a white vehicle experiences this because not every lives near heavy fallout areas so they can't relate.

Try the claybar and give it a good wax. Good luck!

If you're in the business I'll have to take your work for it but since I've never heard of or had any such problems in my many years owning white vehicles (my 2k Maxima was also white), it must have everything to do with where you live, as you said, and what you live near. Living in the country, I'm nowhere near any of the items you list above..that must be the difference.
