Brake dust ruining the paint on my yaris

[gesiquea]

Hello! I bought my new '08 Yaris not quite two years ago. I wash and wax it regularly and think I do what I can to keep it in the best shape possible. Wednesday I was preparing to wax my car after washing and noticed TONS of brown, rusty looking spots on the paint starting from around the front wheels, running down the sides of the car, wrapping around to the back on the bumper and trunk and also in the door jambs. The spots range in size from pen-tip to sesame seed size. I took it in to the dealership to have a look. Basically what the guy told me is that it's not rust, it's from the break pads. He explained that when I break, microscopic bits of super heated break dust and metal shavings hit my car and that's what's causing the spots. He said that if it wasn't taken care of, in the long run those spots would start to rust. He also told me that every single new car gets these spots, it's unavoidable, even with the best exterior car care. I'd have to pay every year to have them remove the spots.

My question is, does this truly happen to every single new car? Is anyone here having the same problem? I'm not buying that excuse. The guy told me that it had to do with new paint manufacturing. I've spoken with a couple Toyota customer service reps and they have never heard of it happening. Also, I know there are products like Claybar that are supposed to be good at removing this kind of stuff, but is there any other way that anyone knows how to prevent this problem? Prevention is key for me! I don't want to have to deal with this year after year.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advise!
