Default Road Grime?

I washed my truck quickly today as it was cold and breezy...but in the time I spent on it, I noticed little bits of black stuff on the fender flares and mostly the pass. side. Since the truck is black, its harder to see. Anyway, I was curious if anyone had ideas on how to nicely remove it, via clay bar, or polishes? Any help is appreciated...Thanks!

Try getting some "Tar Remover" first. Chemically removing it will be the safest. If that doesn't work, try a clay bar.

Another good trick is to use an indoor carpet cleaner solution. I actually use my carpet cleaner with the attachment. It works great

I use LIFTER BUG & TAR remover. And it is safe on clear coat finishes.
