I think they are probably hard little speckles that may require you to carefully pop each one off with something with a hard plastic edge.

The speckles are in the FENDER WELLS and on the TIRES. I take this to mean the black metal or plastic up underneath the wheel wells and the tires themselves, not the cars paint. I am no professional by a long shot, so you should follow DS Detailers advice. It was just .02 on my part.

I agree for plastic wheel well's....if there hard, and dry, they should just pop off with a little effort, as far as the tires go you may need a solvent of some sort
lacquer thinner?
