It will be tar deposits tom, ironx or tardis should help disolve them, try not to scratch them off with your nail as it may damage the paintwork

As said its tar. Only a dedicated tar remover like tardis or the likes of auto finesse obliterate will get rid of it safely.
I use obliterate and it works great! Ironx won't get rid of it as that is a iron fallout remover not a tar remover.

Clay bars work but you run the risk of marring the paintwork. Also tardis is cheap for 5 litre s so effectively will work out cheaper and less chance of damaging the paintwork. Unless you leave it on the paintwork all day :lol:

Paint terps does the job too =P, regardless of what you use you'll need to reapply your wax/sealant.
