I finally got my MCS last week. It was shipped from Mini of the Hamptons via train. I washed it this weekend but noticed that there was little orange bits of dust that wouldn't come off. I could scrape them off with my nail but soap would not take them off. Is there any way to remove this stuff from my car? Its all over and very noticable on the white hood and bonnet stripes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can clay bar it. That should take care of any road dirt that is hard to get off.

Definitely clay your car and then put at least one coat of Zaino or other high quality product. I clayed my MCS the weakend after I received it, then I applied 2 coats of Zaino Z2. Don't be afraid to clay your car, just read the directions and follow them carefully. You will be amazed with the results!
