Default Need help on removing little black stains on paint surface...

I notice my civic has lots of (very little) black stains spots all over the car, that cause the car of not having a smooth surface. I been using Meguiar's Paint Cleaner, Bug and Tar remover, and Polishing Compound but still would not remove it at all.

The only way I can remove the stain is use my finger nail to scratch it off. But it will take too long to remove all the stain, because there are like millions of these very little stain all over the car paint surface.

So does anybody know how to remove these black stains without harming the paint and clear coat of the car. Let me know please thank you...

What is the "black stuff" and how did it get there?

One solution: Clay Bar. Do a search in this section, or some of my old replys in this section if you want more details. I think of of your questions will be answered in the old post.

I've noticed it on my teg. Some are dark-brown to black! For some reason, bugs/insects like to be around my car??

Is there any reason for this??

Thanks guys for suggesting me to use clay, Clay really works great. But it took me more than 6 hours to get it all off my car. Now my car mad smooth.
