When I've been washing my car (candy white) on close inspection I can see tiny orange dots.
Now at first I thought these could be rust but it's on the plastic bumper and wing mirrors.
Does anyone know what this could be and would clay barring it remove it?
Cheers

Sounds like iron fallout to me.
Buy a bottle of iron-x to decontaminate the paintwork, followed by claying and then resealing the paint with your LSP of choice.

Either tar or iron. Hard to tell. Clay would remove it but ironx or tardis would be better as this is touchless and so not going to mark the paint.

Cheers lads, gunna get a das6 next month and do a full detail on the paint.

always thought the orange spots were pollen from trees ? as you only get it in the summer ? its hard to wash off as it get baked on in the sun but will wash off with water

Had the same on my white Leon when I first got it, iron X removed it no problem :)

I would have said pollen too. I get them on my reflex silver and they end up looking a brownish-yellow-orange. QD or washing removes them relatively easily. So do baby wipes but i'm not sure if baby wipes are kind to wax/sealant - i doubt it.
