Default Calling SW tCs/PW xBs

Do any SW tCs or PW xBs have rust dots on your car. I had a friend point it out to me jut wanted to know what should I do? They are very little but noticsable and are all over the car in various areas really hard to take pics of but you can see them clearly in person.

rust spots are from the brake pads wearing off. I have a freind with a white RSX with the same thing. It's not that it's a problem. All new cars do it. How to get them off? Time and patience. You'll have to clay bar and buff them off. Then get new dustless pads from EBC. That should solve the rust spot problem. But, they will come off.

they are ALL over the car, not just in the rear, or around the wheel wells, they are ontop of the car, on the hood, on the doors, on the hatch, on the bumpers, and also, they dont get thinner or thinker, they are very evenly disperssed around the paint...if it was the breakpads, wouldnt it be thicker around the wheelwells?
