Gave my new Forester a wash today and applied a coat of wax in preparation for the winter. After I buffed the wax, I was spot polishing the hood and felt small imperfections in the paint.
On closer inspection I could see tiny flecks of black, which I suspect happened at work when they were resurfacing the parking lot next door to our parking lot. I didn't know they were working out there until quitting time when I walked out and saw the crew laying down the black goop on the parking lot. I did a walk round but didn't see any obvious marks so didn't worry.
The flecks came off without any problem when I just ran my fingernail over them so I am thinking a clay bar would be the best solution to get the hood back to pristine condition. It's a long time since I used one so I am hoping someone can advise if this my best solution and the best way to use it, or if something else would work better.
