Question Red dots in paint

I have a White 2002 Blazer Xtreme. All over the SUV, I've got these little red dots on the paint. I know its not rust because it is on some plastic pieces that are painted also.

How could i get rid of these contaminents? Would a clay bar work, or should I use something else? If a clay bar, how would I use one? Thanks

Re: Red dots in paint

sounds like someone spray painted too close to your truck,.. clay bar should get it off.

Re: Red dots in paint

i have the same thing on my white x also. I think its from oil that was sitting there for like years. Im going to be using some 2000 grit sand paper then a buff. Iv tried a claybar and it removes most but not all of it.
