So every time I wash the car i have to hand scrub the entire car...there are the tiniest yellowish specks that are near impossible to come out...

how do i get them out without hand scrubbing the car lol
is this is what claying if for..?

I think claying it would do the trick... then put a good coat of wax on it.

Agreed. Clay bar. But be caeful and check to make sure it it isn't lifting any paint with it the first time you use the clay bar.

Yeah what he said. Clay bar and wax. If you can get them out just by scrubbing then claying is all that is required but if they still won't come out you might have to polish them out. Waxing will make it easer to get them off next time.

BE CAREFUL!!!
If it's tree sap the spots could pull the paint right off with them. That's what happened to me in one place. If you have even the slightest suspicion that they might be tree sap, DO NOT remove with mechanical force (clay bar, fingernail, elbow grease, polishing, etc...) ...use a chemical, like bug and tar remover, and do it gently.
