These things come out of hardwood mulch, and launch onto the side of my white truck. They look like specs are tar, but tar remover (and similar) will not touch them. ANy advice for this strange dilemma?

I actually have black specs on windows on my house 12' off the ground above the landscaped area.

 

I have no idea how to remove them from your truck, but at least now I know where all those black dots on my siding came from...I know the pressure washer will take them off the siding, but I dare not use that pressure on a vehicle..

I use a clay bar on them. I get them all the time. If that doesn't work, I usually pick them off with my finger nail. LOL! It takes a while but get the job done without scratching!
