They're like little black surface burns/discolorations or something. First I noticed them on the grapes, then the tomatoes.. They weren't even all grown in the same part of the country. At this point I'm just peeling the tops off of my veggies, it's become so common that I expect to see it. |

I don't know about fruits and veggies, but I know the spots on the cars I am seeing can only be acid etching. Quoting: j994k Fallout is acidic. Seriously. That I know empirically. I had the worst possible luck when travelling in March of 2011 and ended up up in Pacific mountains in the middle of the first Fuku cloud. The first sign was that the rain burnt our skin, the second was going inside to find out the Geiger counters were going off. We left after that, but I had smooth burned spots on my exposed skin for a while after. I was also hella sick for ages after, but that's another story. |

I have no idea what fallout would look like on paint, or how fast it would etch. I do know that it has to be pretty rough stuff to get through my paint protectant. That is all... |
