How to remove black dots from rear bumper?

[Mantic6t9]

After waxing my car today i noticed alot of black dots/specks that SEC would not remove. Will claying get rid of them or do i need something abrasive like a swirl or scratch remover? The rear bumper needs to be clayed anyway so i want to know what else i need to pick up to remove the spots.

What are the dots? Road tar? Insect droppings? Hardened tree sap?



I would try using an automotive solvent like Dupont`s Prep Sol or mineral spirits first , then clay the bumper pad.

I`m guessing it`s road tar among other bad things. Maybe i`ll take the Goo Gone to it:nixweiss

Anyone else?

Claying would be my first step.
