Black spots that smear
When I wash my car most of the dirt comes off fine, left behind are little black specs/dots. I continue to wash these spots and usually they come right off after repeated rubbing.Then some spots leave a trail behind them like im writing on the car or something... Pearl White does not like this at all. I can continue to wash were the mark is left and it fades but doesnt completely go away. I think clay barring might be the best bet as i do not have any detail supplies at all . Does anyone know what im talking about and have a solution to prevent this and fix the small marks left behind?

I know what you're talking about. I believe those things are tars from the road. I've personally have just scrub the crap out of them with soap.

After I'm done drying my car I spray soap on my clay bar and remove the grease, etc. I don't like spraying chemicals all over the paint.

I clay my entire z once a year. And with the used clay bar I use it to clay spots after every wash. I use zaino clay and put a cap full of zaino soap and water into a spray bottle. Any fine clay bar and car soap should be ok.

My guess is that it could be road tar or maybe even tire dressing (flung off from tires). I usually can get this stuff off by using a quick detailer product. Less chance of scratching and adds protection when you're done.

I was thinking tire dressing also. If its on the sides and its constant no matter where you go its definitely tire dressing. Switch to a different product that doesn't "sling".
