Default Paint Problem

Have some what appear to be very minute white overspray droplets on horizontal surfaces of car. If you are not looking they are hard to detect. I have rubbed and polished to no avail, they seem to be firmly attached, as i don't want to mar finish i will leave well enough alone for now. Will this (claybar) have any effect on removing this. Any and all replies appreciated.

The clay bar works great, on my everyday car I use it every two months or so to keep all the little tar specks from building up. Also, My friend ran over a newly painted line in the highway and sprayed the side of his blue jeep with white specks, the clay bar took it right off..

I highly recommend

yep, clay bar. I had my bumpers redone and the top of the hatch. There was a little overspary behind the driver's side door and the clay took it right off!
