anyone know what to use to clean the black specs off the back of the car. I have an o/r x-pipe and I think that all the carben might be blowing out all over the car. I tried a clay bar, rubbing & polishing compound and nothing is working. Has anyone else had this problem?

They don't show up in pics very well. I looks like the it has been peppered. I've tried scratching them off too and you can feel that they are on top of the paint but they won't come off.

Back bumper is prone for collecting dirt dust and other road debris.

common area for gunk to collect. Mine does it too.

Clean it well, wax it and then the stuff will come right off

That looks like regular road dirt. The stuff in the pic should come right off.

My old truck was white and used to get these little specs of metal on it and they kind of were black. That might be what it is also. If that is what you have you might have to live with it because that is what I had to do

Yeah, I thought the same thing...I'm going to have to live with it. It's not tire goo and it is pretty much what what the other yellow stang had in the pic. It's all around the plate and the back trunk & bumper. I've tried clay, rubbing/polishing compound, wax, and finger nail scraping. they won't give. If anyone can think of anything let me know, it looks like that stuff is on there untill it can be repainted.
