I'm not a body shop guy, nor a detail guy, for the record. Although I have painted my own car, and maintained paint jobs for half of my life.

Did you use corvette paint or cavalier paint?

Lol.

My old man's c5 factory clear coat looks like hammered dog shit IMHO. I'm not sure I couldn't do better in my garage. But again, I'm no expert.

Its too aggresive for the paint and it will strip any wax or paint protectant that you have put on.

Your not suggesting it strips the clear coat are you?

Last I heard blue dawn and a clay bar were recommended for cars with issues especially ones with rail dust, pollen and/or dirt, bound in wax/sealant and collecting on a car's finish

That doesn't look like rust.

And yes Corvette clear is much harder than factory GM clear.

Ever here of a good old ride from the factory in a Railroad Car? We get them all the time. Problem is that when cars are transported this way the metal flakes that get kicked up from the tracks land all over the cars and most Dealerships are stupid in all areas,but mostly in the detail department. It's an easy fix.
