          Use the Lasso Tool to make partial selections areas and go to menu FilterNoiseDust and Scratches... or FilterNoiseMedian

            ...I always thought 'Dust and Scratches' was there to add said elements rather than remove them. +1!

          • The only one option to "add" is Add noise. Despeckle, Dust & Scratches, Median and Reduce Noise are to remove in different levels. Dust & Scratches is perfect for photo negative scratches. For this question I think Median fits better.

            Good use of "dust and scratches". I normally only think if it being dust and scratches on a negative scan, not a car! haha. I might try it on self-portraits in the future!

            Is the OP aware that this only changes the image? The physical will stay as dirty as before. I'm in CS6 right now - maybe it's fixed in CC :-)

          • I fixed it using shadow/highlights and a lot of color correction, it made the job.
