those white specks dissolve with heat and moisture. What do you mean by road rash? I know this term from cycling but its a whole other story.

If you mean scratches, short of getting out the orbtial buffer with the right pad and abrasive polish, the best trick is to layer a few coats of a high quality sealant, give some time to cure maybe 6 hours and then add a few layers of durable synthetic wax. That will fill in the swirl channels until heat and rain wash it away after a few weeks depending on the weather.

But in general if you want to make a dark colored car shine more, use a carnauba wax like S100 or Souveran. Although carnauba longevity is limited.
