This is going to sound completely from left field.....
But...... there seem to be little specs that look like rust on the hood of my car. I know, fiberglass does NOT rust...but where did it come from? Airborne? This car sees a parking lot from time to time, then usually it doesn't leave my site. Sheesh, Since the new paint.. I sure do notice more **** like this. What's your take on removal? Clay bar? thank you in advance.

I would guess it's rail dust, industrial fallout or some other sort of ferrous particles which settled on your paint, and bloomed.
You can remove them easily with a quality clay bar - yellow or blue in color. Make sure to use plenty of lubricant with the clay.

Re: This is going to sound completely from left field..
Well,
I did clay the entire car. One or two of those little rust spots are etched in there. Then again, I just hit them with the clay...didn't try any Z5 or S&SR. The clay took off a BOATLOAD from the bottom of the car, front nose and rear bumper. It was a reddish type color(I'm figuring overspray) and the black from the bumper is obviously exhaust deposit. It's silky again without even Z6ing it! I'm going to toss another coat of Z5/6 on it later.
Thanks for the replies.
