Unhappy paint problem =[

Well i left my car at my dads house for about a month.
he left it in the garage with no car cover on.
well i got it back today and it was really dusty so i though no problem ill just wash it when i get home. so i drove it home and began to wash it. when i began to dry it i can see that theres still dust on the paint. it wont come off.

is there anyway i can get rid of it? =[
and my car is black so you can really tell =[

Try a product from Meguires called "Clay Bar" it can be used to clean your paint.

yeah try the xtra fine clay bar, was the car recently painted? paint stays soft for a little while the cover probably would have left marks too

Default Paint problem

That's odd that dust wouldn't wash off. Do you think it is some kind of over spray? The first thing I would try is to hit it with a fine polishing compound and a buffer. If you don't have a buffer there are products that are made for hand polishing. If it is a light oxidation it should come right off with out much rubbing, and then a nice wax job to seal it.
