Ocean (or in this case "gulf") air is salty and as such, rust will appear in short order.

I'm curious what color your paint is.

I would assume it's Azure Gray, that's my guess

You are the second thread this week with rust on a white Maverick. Just seeing if there is a trend here. Hope the dealer takes care of it as they should.

I live in Tampa-any way to prevent? frequent washing?Thanks!

Looks like it's creeping up into top of roof paint , who thinks a dealer would ever fix it right not me , scrape off loose stuff and put some Woolwax on it, until dealer car wash kid slopes some paint over it.

This topic (humurously) reminds me of the early 1970's living in KCMO back when new Ford Pintos were having all sorts of quality issues. Back then one of the (many) quality issues..... premature RUST.

Infact, I remember somebody who just bought one off the lot was already rusting. So bad, they placed one of those pizza delivery style advertisement toppers on the roof of their fairly new rusty Pinto stating one of Fords current sales slogan at the time that also featured a light bulb.... "Ford Has A Better Idea... "RUST".

I remember seeing that car off and on for about 2 years driving around southern KCMO area throughout '71 and '72. LOL!
