What is it exactly? Road grime? Asphalt? I use menzerna line for years but mostly for corrections scratches etc. From your pictures looks like contaminants itched or kind of discoloured your clear? Could that be rust (metal) particles? Iron x is amazing for that. It's hard to see the detail in your pictures.

I had a very similar issue. Followed this https://www.clublexus.com/forums/aut...ittle-dot.html and used this http://www.autogeek.net/meguiars-205-polish-8oz.html with a machine polisher. Not sure if my solution will resolve yours but hope it helps!

You will still need to polish it out to be perfect because the eraser will leave holograms depending on how much pressure you used.

In the future, please use the Club Lexus Automotive Detailing sub-forum (link in my sig) for these types of posts. It helps the entire Club Lexus community if we can have one source of knowledge for owners of all models to search through when they have detailing related questions

Glad you were able to figure it out!
