help with paint problem

[glenn22]

my Mazda CX-7 is only 1 week old, I went to wash and wax it and noticed the vehicle is COVERED in tiny white flecks.... They seem to come off relatively easy with a thumbnail, but they cover the vehicle and using method would take days or weeks . I`m not sure if it`s paint, tree sap or some other contaminent, but washing doesn`t to anything to remove it. Any suggestions?

If it comes off easily with a fingernail, then clay should take it right off. Spray some quick detailer/spray wax on the surface, then rub the clay back and forth over the paint.

Be sure to roll and knead the clay often to keep th clay surface clean.

Yep, a claybar should do the trick :bigups

Clay will work on the paint but is useless on the trim and moldings that aren`t painted. Try something light like mineral spirits real gently.
