Hey TW - I need advice.

I was driving home Friday night and they were paving the road in one area.

Saturday I noticed I had little black specs of (presumably tar) all over the truck. I got rainx bug and tar remover and sprayed the spots and washed the car. This removed a lot.

Today after work I took a microfibre cloth and sprayed it directly and went to work on some of the remaining spots. Rinsed off the bug and tar remover and well there are still some little black specs.

Should I keep this up for an hour or so a day until it is all gone then use my spray wax or is the bug and tar remover stripping everything leaving me exposed to worse trouble? Should I just wax it and in a week or so do another big wash and try and get this stuff off then re-wax?
