I do park outdoors all year though.

Oh don't do that. You should never scrape with your fingernail, you could mar the clear coat. Such damage can probably be buffed out, but you should never do that.
I once had a silver car and when I was washing it I noticed that there were tiny oil spots all over it. They were very fine, and you had to look real close to see them. I'm guessing I drove behind someone that was burning a lot of oil for a while and it accumulated on my car. Clay bar took care of that just fine. It's good stuff.
