Welcome to DC!

It would appear that you might be working on a 1993 Legend.
Could your dots be rock chips that have wax in them?
I have seen dark colored cars that have rock chips in the front panels that get so much wax in them, it looks like they have white measles.

Yes I'm am workin on my 1993 acura legend. I don't know if that is the rock chips and that i tried waxin over them because i throught it was part of the wax that gotten hard. Well since u say it part of the rock chip should i just go ahead and repaint it?
 
I would also think that what you're seeing is dried up wax stuck in some chipped areas. You might want to try some QD and a little bit of pressure with a microfiber. Make sure to stop by the new members section to give a proper introduction.

First off, I don't know that what you have is wax in the rock chips. We need to be sure that is the problem before we try to do anything about it.

Secondly, you won't have much success trying to paint over wax. The paint won't adhere and will come off.

Try removing the white dots in one small area and see if you have rock chips under them.
As far as how to remove the wax, we have another problem. I use a product called 3M Adhesive and Wax Remover. Alcohol might work, but I really don't know.
Using a terry cloth towel and a quick detailer might remove it. It would be a try and see project if I didn't have the 3M stuff.
