Alpine White black specs

How does everyone tackle the black specs left on our alpine white beemers after a wash. It's all road grime and tar that sticks to the clear.

"Claying" the surface will get rid of everything.....including the tiny orange and brown specs you may see on the back end of the car. These are actually small iron particles from the brake pads that get stuck on the surface and rust. For bigger amounts of tar, yoy may want to look at what the local Auto Parts store has. I have a cleaner from Turtle Wax that works well.

Carborator cleaner on a rag and rub lightly it will come right off. You must polish then wax after that.
