How to remove "Grime" from paint?
Looking closely at the paint of my car (My car is white) I can notice grayish "grime" all over the car. I know the paint has not actually been stained, because today when I was waxing it it would smear around. But I haven't been able to clean it off no matter how much I scrub when I wash the car.

Yeah, what howy03 said--the mothers clay bar will work wonders on your paint. As for polish I recommend Zaino Bros show car polish. That stuff is amazing.

If that does not do the trick,you can also use a buffing wheel and some compound. Some of the Parts stores sell slower wheels that won't burn the paint like a professional one.
