after the repair shop put new pads and rotors on the next day i went on a trip for 3 days highway driving round trip 250 miles when i got home my front wheel Drive side was covered with a burned rust color and could not wash it off we used everything we good think of. well we got out some mild alum/cleaner and rub rub rub for 1-1/2 hours it took. now i noticed its all over the side of my truck also looks like little specs of rust all over my paint like its burned in to the clear coat. what caused this please let me know. mark rager email mark@ehpwash.com

  The wheel and tire splashed some kind of chemical or paint onto your the surface of your paint and wheel, you need to have a body shop color sand and polish the paint before it becomes permanently etched into the clearcoat
