Unhappy Removing paint spots Advice

Went to clean the zed today and theres tiny white dots over the bonnet and few other places.Its like somebody was spraying nearby and the wind has took it!!Not happy.I did have this sponge which was wrapped in a net,which i used to use to remove things like this,but cannot find it.Any idea where i can get one or something else.Thanks

You could start with a bit of compound and a light buff. If that doesnt work and you feel brave enough, a bit of thinners on a cloth.

And i swear by these compounds and polishes. I always start with a G10 and if necessary move on to G3.

I'd be using something like an adhesive remover or tar remover first before considering machine polishing.
Autoglym Tar Remover gets through a variety of stuck on substances including some types of paint.

Rather than applying with a cloth, spray plenty of it on and give it a minute or two to work its way into the paint. Then wipe away with a bit more on a cloth.

I like to give the car a machine polish from time to time keeps the paint nice and smooth and removes all the swirls aswell. Its a bit of work but well worth it.
