    Paint? Tar? fly poop?

    Do you know what it is?

    How long or how many times have you clayed over the same black spot?
    Had an experience or several experiences in a body shop where a painter accidentally sprayed a car nearby and I had
    to clay out the spots. Took me 20, 30 times back and forth and about 1/2 hour or longer to get a small area cleaned up.

    Try to go longer and more aggressive with lube till it is gone.

    Let us know what happens.

    It looks like paint for sure

    I may have not done the clay in a longer period. Will try to be more aggressive with it.

    thanks!

    I get little palm tree drippings on my cars that look like that, clay won't touch it, polishing won't touch it. I just use my thumbnail to break it loose. Maybe a credit card or a plastic razor blade? Just in the targeted area.

    The Meguiars clay should work ok if it's paint overspray. Just use plenty of lube and go back and forth over it smoothly while applying just the right amount of passion to it, concentrating on the spots getting removed.
