I was finally able to do a thorough cleaning, including applying Gtechniq W6 Iron and General Fallout Remover between the pressure washing and the foam cannon. It did not remove the spots in question, so I tried some Gtechniq - W7 Tar and Glue Remover after washing. Still did not work. I have attached a couple of pictures of the types of spots I'm trying to clean. The first is on the ceramic coated portion and the second is on the PPF'd portion.
That looks like it is in the paint. Was it always there? Can you take a better detailed pic of it, in focus? Take from 2 feet away and zoom in up close.

Thanks for responding. It wasn't always there. I'll post a picture when I'm able to clean it up. It's been raining a lot here and is expected to continue so it will have to wait until I can find a time to clean.

Thanks for your patience.
