Little annoying white specs/dots on car
I'm so tired of seeing these. They are tiny microscopic specs that I can't wash or even clay bar off. I have to sit there and scratch with my finger nail to try and get them off. Anyone else deal with this??? They are impossible to see if standing next to the car, only until you put your nose next to the surface.

Adam's Wheel Cleaner is great for more than just wheels too! Have a light colored paint job like white or silver? Then you've no doubt noticed the little orange iron particles that stick to your paint. Adam's Wheel Cleaner can be sprayed on these little trouble areas and used to dissolve the iron from these surfaces as well.
Adam's Wheel Cleaner is guaranteed to be the best wheel cleaner you've ever experienced!
NOTE: Adam's Wheel Cleaner, as with any wheel cleaner, should never be sprayed onto a hot surface. Always allow wheels to completely cool before cleaning. USE COMMON SENSE: If you will be using Wheel Cleaner for the first time on your wheels be sure to test in a small area first to check for any unusual or unexpected results. The active ingredient in Adam's Wheel Cleaner does produce a slight odor as its working. This is normal and will quickly dissipate.

Could it be sap ?? Environmental fallout ??? Pollen ???
If you can find the source, we can suggest a remedy. Unfortunately many of these items have different best resolves and I would hate to offer something that might not work properly.

If they do come off, they could be stains from fallout such as brake dust, as suggested above. The fallout may be gone, but the stains remain.
Try the least-aggressive method first... cleaner wax, polish, compound, and see what works. Try what you have

If that's what it is, then the least aggressive would be something like iron-x or similar.

Are you using a mild clay bar? Maybe you need more aggressive clay to remove what ever is. Just keep in mind that aggressive clay can sometimes mar the paint. May need a light polish afterwards

I get them also. Seems to part of South Carolina's charm, as I didn't see them before moving here. They do come off with a good detailer, let it sit for a min, and wipe. Some may require doing it a few times.
I just don't worry about it much anymore as my car is Silver Grey Metallic and the Metallic will flash white in the sun anyway.
