HELP! Tiny wax specs wont come off

[technomafia]

Just picked up a used black IS250. The previous owner didnt really take care of the paint well. I think they did get it detailed by the losers at the dealership though. There are 1000's of what I think are tiny white wax specs. Like the specs you get from splattering of the rotory. They obvisiously didnt wipe them off and seem to have been there for some time. Ive washed twice with warm water and they dont budge. Only thing that kinda works is clay. But I have to apply a little pressure to the clay and make several passes to remove 1 little spec. Im afraid of scratching plus its going to take me forever!!!!! Ive tried megs 80,83, bug n tar remover, and a little 70% rubbing alcohol and they dont do anything. Any other megs product I can use to speed of the process? If not how bout an ol details home remedy? Ive read online some say glass cleaner, cococola, or brake cleaning spay.

Could try some Dawn?

From the sound of what you are describing, I think you are dealing with paint overspray not wax splatter.....IMO

You might need to pick up a more aggressive clay, like our C2000 Professional Mild Clay (the blue stuff) but stay away from the C2100 Pro Aggressive Clay (the red stuff). The C2100 is very aggressive and could haze the paint - it should only be used for removal of extremely heavy contamination and when you intend to machine polish immediately following.

The C2000 is a noticeable step up from the consumer clay and we used it to great effect on heavy overspray at our last Thursday Night Open Garage:
