Default Environmental fall out

Noticed that on the ISF I get all these small black spots. It comes off easily with clay, but with crystal clear paint, all it takes it one drive for it t start looking like a dalmatian again. I thought they were just spots that I missed with the clay, but I started claying and polishing on the driver side and have just applied ceramic coating to it, and after a few drives there's a bunch of black spots even on that side. I'll get some pics up when I get the chance. Any advice to avoid this or is this just a constant thing I'm going to be dealing with.

It is just a constant thing you will have to deal with.

Do any of the spots come off while washing? Have you tried a chemical solvent to remove them (ie tar remover, fallout remover, or other)?

When I originally got the car it had a lot of rail dust on it, a bottle of ironx and a lot of clay later it's pretty much clear. The spots are fairly resistance to just washing, I've not tried tar remover or fall out remover, just clay at this time. Thought it could just be the ISF but noticing it on the new car as well.
