Ice/Snow/Sand/Salt Damage to Paint... HELP

[MattRoberts123]

Hey everyone... we had a big ice/snow storm here last week and the local road crews were out messing things up... There were trucks constantly everywhere pouring sand and salt mixtures on the road.

I had always heard this was bad, but I thought ONLY if you REALLY neglected your car and never washed it. I have had my H2 for about 6 months and have put several coats of that expensive ass Zymol wax on it.

Well I went to wash the truck today, and noticed something that is SCARING THE **** OUT OF ME. Even after several washings, and even trying to wax and buff it out..... there are very tiny pinpoint size orange dots ALL over the truck. They seem like rust or something... obviously it is a cause to some degree from the **** that was on the roads, but I don't really know what the cause is. They are hard little bumps and seem to come off with LOTS of scratching with my fingernail..

Any idea what the damage is?

Is it permanent?

Is it a paint defect or just the damn salt and sands fault?

Is there a good, fast, and effective remedy to fix this up?

Thanks again, I really appreciate the help!!
