    Glad to hear that you were able to remove it.. A med. grade Nanoskin Mitt would've made it much faster.

    Re: Need help remove black dots on paint

    A little late I know, but from the pic it looks like Artillery Mold Spores, or Artillery Fungus. It's an interesting read if you Google them. Seems they are most predominant in mulch that you find beside your house or driveway.
    We start by spraying a degreaser on the effected area. Let it dwell for 5 min or so. While washing the car a top scab can easily be removed with your fingernail. The remaining mark is the more difficult to remove depending on how recently the car had been waxed and how long the fungus had been attached. As several have said, the fingernail or a plastic blade can be your best process. It becomes much easier after the spore scab is removed and the remaining spot softens up.

    Did you remove it by just claying it after all? I have the same problem on my car and took a while to finish off the passenger side.
