it looks like a lot of that crap is imbedded in your paint. the clay bar will usually only pick up stuff you can feel with your hand. try using it when your car is all soapy

"Honda's" Black sucks.
I took my 00' hatch back back to the dealer cause the paint had these spider web looking cracks all over the hood, top of the fenders, and roof. They said its a problem that they have seen before, but i was at 34k miles so 2k over warrenty SORRY!

Alot of that on your bumper looks like rock chips or dust. As far as the sap or bugs try using some Goo Off.

Use meguiars paint cleaner, its basically a lazy mans clay bar, cream it on and rub it off with all your strength, Worked for me.

</TD></TR></TABLE>

exactly what my homie did to his teg...he spent at least 30-45 mins on each fender and the front bumper and hood trying to remove all them sediments and tar...and at least 2 hrs or more to claybar the whole car...he kept going over the same areas at least 4 times...half the time with most of the spray, and the last half with the surface almost dry, so that it would get sticky and grab the sediments...but all the work was worth the effort...whole car came out feeling as smooth as silk...and no more sediments that made the car feel like sandpaper...
