Dude! I know exactly what you mean about those spots. That's tiny specks of road tar. It's impossible to take off with a normal wash. You need a claybar, but I have another solution!

I bought some 3M Adhesive Remover in a spray can once at a car show. I have a pearl white Z, so I was going crazy about those spots. Well, I tried the 3M product and couldn't believe my eyes. The stuff is like super liquid claybar! It literally pulls the tar off the paint and you can see it streak down the body.

Have some clean MF towels around. Be sure to wash the car first, dry it well, then use the spray on those offensive spots. Wipe with the MF towel, move on to the next spot. Give it a few seconds to work first.

The only con to this is that you should wax your car after the removal process. Like claybar, the stuff will take off whatever wax you have on the car. It leaves a smooth surface, but I feel like it's too smooth so I always wax the car after.
