| Description of the problem | I have a white paint job on my pickup, came that way from the factory.. Shortly after i bought it some tiny round rust spots appeared on the whole truck. Fords "acid washed it" and the spots came back. The same thing happened on my 2011 ford explorer, they acid washed it twice because i was so mad then the spots came back. They said it was environmental. Fords says it only happens on the white paint jobs, maybe because the other colors it doesn't show up. I am furious that fords lets this go and doesn't change something. It happened on my 2011 explorer as i said and now its the 2013s. Help me!! My whole truck has little rust spots all over....
