slight overspray :(

My car was repainted one year ago and over the summer black specs were found all around the car. Its not noticable from a distance but when you get to car there are some slight black specs on the white car. Any ideas on how to get rid of them?

I used a clay bar to good effect on some light overspray.

well if it was around the tire area i think it would be burnt rubber. anyhow first use a clay bar, then a polish, then wax. and try to buff really good around the area of the black because then the the black would be less noticable.

Re: slight overspray :(

Not sure if this is really overspray sounds for like road tar, i hope its not small paint chips. But as everyone else was saying, use clay bar. First I would wash the car and try using a prep solve or a tar remover that they sell at oreillys. Make sure its not paint chips, if so your gunna need a lil touch up paint and the clay bar could possibly make the chips worse. Where are the specs?

Re: slight overspray :(

I'd try a claybar first. If that doesn't work, I'd try a polish. Most likely a slightly aggressive polish.
