Paint a starting to pit on hood

Just got my MY LR in MSM. I washed it today and while drying it I noticed the surface of the hood felt rough. Lo and behold there is pitting and surface rust on the hood! Made an appointment for next week to see what they are going to do about it.

Yeah, that looks like iron contamination of your clearcoat. I'd pick up some iron remover to decontaminate and then see what it looks like after that.

This is a "shootout" video on iron removers but it does a good job of explaining what the issue is, how the product works and a recommendation. In fact all the Pan the Organizer videos are informative.
