Default Quick Detailing Question

I washed my truck today, and while I was drying it I noticed these little brownish specks all down both front doors ... What are they, and how do I get them off?!

I want to get these specks off before I wax it!

Thanks,
Shane

It's like a grime... I can feel it with my fingernail, and it comes off if I scratch it with my fingernail for a while...

I was thinking clay bar, but how hard is it to use?

not hard at all.... just get a clay bar kit, it will come with the lube (soap usually) and the clay and instruction.

should get rid of it fast, just dont over use it, it is easy!

MEGUIRS IS LIKE PREMIUM BEER, ii wouldnt drink anything else.

every summer i use rubbing compund and an air buffer to get all the old wax off and swirl marks or scratches, then apply at least 3 coat the first time cause i stripped all the wax off. then MEGUIRES. I LIKE THE PASTE THE BEST IF UR USING AIR BUFFER
