I've heard that not all Meguires products are the same. Some people say to only use Meguire's Gold products.

wash...clay bar.. and if you want to be hardcore use 100% pure carnuba. your car will shine like no other but it will take at least twice as long to remove as opposed to synthetic (anything at pep boys) wax.

if you want it to last a month, then get a california duster. dust everyday and hit it with meguairs quick detail spray.

rust? where do you park? is the car new?
it could be dried up bird pee.. looks like rust and leaves a stain if you dont get it out quickly

it looks like its embeded on to the paint and it doesnt seem to want to come off... i only bought the car 2 weeks ago (new) ... i'll recheck it in the morning... if doesnt come off... i'll see what the dealer can do... i park on the driveway, no trees or powerlines overhead so its not bird pee or droppings

you dont need to park underneath things to get the bird pee stain... my car is garaged at home and at work but it still finds its way on my car =(
