a light scrub with a coarse rag or a light powerwash should do

Ya bugs are a pain in the *** to get off with a normal hose, once in a wile use a pressure washer and it gets off most, if not all. I endup using my finger nail and scratching it all off.

yeah bro i was just gonna say it'll be paint chips from rocks...i've got the same problem...there's a thread in here about paint chips and repairs...usually if you get like a black wax, it'll fill in the little chips temporarily but a little touch up paint won't hurt either...i suggest reading the thread...it's posted in a current topic i believe

i just picked up some touch up paint for my civic yesterday at Honda. Just gave em my paint code which should be in the seam of your driverside door jam and paid about 7 bucks for a lil bottle which could touch up the little dots for you nicely...are you talking about a professional job though?

it would depend on how handy you are, how deep a chip it is and it you do your research and homework about how to repair chips in your paint.
