things you find when you wash...

and what to do about them?

washed my still very new MCC this weekend (waiting for a full free day to do the whole zaino thing...) and found:

black specs along rear bumper that would NOT come off even with some probably ill-advised scrubbing (wool wash mitt). the car is PW so these tiny things can be seen. is this the sort of stuff I'll have to clay bar out? if so, can one do a spot-clay-barring or do you have to do the whole car when you do it?

little bitty chip on front bumper. i did hear some hard pebble hits going down the highway so that's probably what did it, and i figure i'll acquire more as the car ages. :( this goes through the paint. should i get touch up paint for it? or just zaino over it? how to prevent rust?

bug bits that were very hard to remove. ok to spot-scrub after you've washed a panel? if not, how do i get this sort of stuff off?

thanks, car care gurus!
