So I think because I park my car on the main road, and the plow trucks rocked my roads during the 2-3 weeks, i got crap all over my car that doesn't "wash" off.

All along both sides of the car, I have these tiny specs (very small) of what LOOK like rust spots, but it's not. I can rub them off with my finger nail, but when washing the car, even with a high pressure, pressure washer.... they don't come out. Once i rub them off with my finger nail, it's smooth as ice underneath, so they're not actual paint chips that's gone rusty. God knows what they are. they MUST be from the plow's. Perhaps salt!??!?!

Anyway.... I need to know how to take them off without spending HOURS and killing my finger nails. Claybars?!? Get the car cut polished? There must be some sort of thing I can use the get this crap off my car

Thanks for the help.

claybar

Claybar, although I'm a bit confused here cause some will say that a claybar will introduce micro marring to your paint, some say it wont.

If it does you may want to give it a light polish afterwards?
Or maybe just a good wax

As stated above, claying it will get rid of the contamination. If you use a decent clay bar such as ClayMagic Blue, Riccardo Blue(theyellow is too soft to me) or Blackfire Polyclay, you shouldn't have a problem. If you are near me, in Maple Ridge, I can get you the clay and show you how to use it. Its dead easy and shouldn't marr the paint at all.
