you might try looking at the griot's garage catalog, or calling them. I'm
sure they could sell you anything you need to get the paint 'right', just
bring money. their catalog seems to be devoted more and more to
paint/cosmetics. (800) 345-5789, or mail me and I'll drop one of their
catalogs in the mail to you to peruse. oh, no financial interest, etc.

from what I've read, those are probably contaminants in the paint, usually
a result of acid rain. 'paint cleaning clay' (I heard you can get it at
autozone, from meguiars, or again, griot's) is supposed to get this stuff
right out. the idea is, you take this clay bar, spray your car with a
lubricant and rub the bar until you quit feeling drag, at which time the
paint is clean. the contaminants are removed by the clay. no personal
experience.

3M general purpose adhesive cleaner, p/n #051135-08984. removes pine tree
sap (and tar, bugs, paint from parking lot dings, etc.) from paint without
harming the paint. soak a cotton ball and rub sap gently. got my can
from local auto parts store.
