Should I be concerned about small yellow spots on car paint?

Yellow spots on car paint should be removed, otherwise over time the paint may turn yellow or even rust. Definition of car paint: Automotive paint refers to the coating applied to vehicles, which is a type of paint specifically designed for automobiles. Functions of car paint: Applying paint to a vehicle not only forms a protective film on the surface that prevents corrosion and extends the car's lifespan, but also provides aesthetic appeal. Different types of automotive paint produce different effects, and choosing different paint types and colors can showcase the vehicle's unique personality. Therefore, automotive paint is crucial to the vehicle itself.
When I first got my new car, I also noticed small yellow dots popping up on the hood, like sesame seeds. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but after a rainy season, the areas around the yellow dots started to turn white and bubble up. I quickly consulted an experienced mechanic, who said it was industrial dust sticking to the paint and oxidizing, especially common near coastal or industrial areas. He suggested gently scraping with a fingernail first; if it doesn't come off, don't force it. The easiest solution is to buy an iron particle remover spray, apply it, wait until it turns purple, and then rinse it off. Never use laundry detergent or steel wool to scrub, as it can damage the clear coat and make things worse. When parking, try to stay away from under trees—bird droppings and tree sap are also major culprits behind yellow dots. If they stick for more than two days, clean them off immediately.
