Anyone experiencing tiny black specs that are little raised bumps that can be scraped off with a fingernail? I've heard that they come from mulch and are little spores being projected, others say it's insect and/or spider mess. :'(

Could be any number of surface contaminants (tree sap, road tar, rubber from tires, etc.). Time to clay the car. Good to do every 6 months. I've been using Clay Magic for years with great results:

I've never "clayed" a car. What is involved? I'm surprised that this is needed when I've only had the car for four weeks!
