    Need advice removing these off paint coating

    I'm not really sure how it happened. Can't tell if I got these while I was driving or not. Tried everything from clayed bar, 50/50 alcohol-water, bug remover and had no success.

    It almost look like and feel like dry candy apple skin. Any ideas?

    simply because you didn't mention it yet i'd be trying iron-x on the chance it could be iron which is blooming in the clear..

    I iron-x my car a month ago. Would I need to do it again?

    Those look a whole lot like iron spots. Are they on the rear end of the car? Give Iron-X a go, it shouldn't hurt the coating. I bet that's the culprit....

    x4 for Iron X. Tons of fallout like that from brakes, construction, etc. I vote metal flakes.

    The time since last use doesn't really matter, no way of knowing what source of contamination may have been in proximity to your vehicle....
    Do a small spot and see if you get a response..
