Rust spots on satin trim around windows

[Tim-in-CA]

Has anyone gotten small rust spots on the satin silver trim around the windows? I’m seeing small spots that look like they are forming from underneath the top layer. I’ll post a pic tomorrow. I plan on going to the dealer on Saturday, hope they won’t fight replacement under the 3 year paint warranty. I have very few miles and the vehicle is garaged all the time.

Wait a second. Are you the same Tim on the Rivianforums?

Guess I should have searched. Other people are saying that Meguiar’s Cleaner Wax will get rid of them. Just ordered some from Amazon, will get here in a day!

Any pics of rust spots? Does the Telluride come with 3 years warranty on paint? Would that include minor rock chips?

Claybar and nanoskin autoscrub pad works great on rust spots I've found.

Yes! On my 2023 Kia seltos I have rust spots on my trim as well!

Meguiar’s Cleaner Wax removed the spots for me very easily without making any marks on the satin trim

There's no metal in the trim, all plastic.

Those rust spots you see are fallout ( metal particles) in the air that landed on the surface and rusted. It's all over car you just don't see them easily on dark paint. I use fallout/iron remover every spring to get rid of them. They can eat through paint over time if left there.
