Best way to fight rust blooms?

So we have had two big snow storms in my area. After the first I gave the car a nice hand wash and while washing the lower half of the car notice rust blooms everywhere. So I clay them off and reapply fk1000. How can I prevent more from forming or am I pissing in the wind?

If they're *new* rust-blooms, from new ferrous contamination, then claying 'em away is sufficient. With luck, you'll just be claying them off/out of your LSP. I deal with this all the time in the winter and just use Sonus green clay as gently as possible.



BUT if they're old, recurring rust-blooms that they clay can't completely remedy, then yeah...you need an acidic decontamination. And if they're too firmly established you might not ever get rid of them 100%.
 
Thanks guys for the responses. I am thinking that it's mostly filings off of the snowplow blades. Cause I've had the car for six months and it wasn't til the salt and slush that they started to show up.
