Road paint spots on the car
 
Hey guys,

Today I was washing and waxing my car when I noticed I have small spots of what appears to be paint they use to make the lines on the road on my car. It's the only explanation I have for those spots and I'd like to know if a clay bar is sufficient to make it disappear.

They're very small, size of a pinhead or slightly bigger, but there are a few on the front fenders and front bumper. I'm more worried about the fenders as my bumper has a clear bra on it.

Any advice?
:thanks:

Clay Bar Kit. For example:http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...L._SL1500_.jpg

This. Same thing happened to me a couple of months ago. I had paint splatter along the full length of the passenger side. It came right off with clay.

Ok, do you recommend using clay bar lightly and if it doesn't work, go with the tar remover? Or straight to the tar remover?:thanks:

And thanks for the advice guys, really appreciated, first new car and all :)
