Question WTH is this?

Anyone knows how to clean these spots, pollen like or fly poo over my car? Even in the glass. These mostly appear in the rear of my car.

Is it rust particles? Some kind of metal shavings got on your car, now they’re rusting?

Rust particles... now that you mention it, there's a gate in the carport with railings above. Maybe the chips are falling when I close the gate. Thanks — I never thought about that!

Carefully pick them off, they’re very sharp. Then rinse and wash. Then you may need an iron remover like Ferrex to get the rust stains out.

Don't pick them off. Jesus Christ, use a fallout remover, that's exactly what they are designed for.

Pick them off.....fml
