Possibly like others, I cannot picture the specks from your description.

Is there any way to take a picture, even using a microscope?

I have occasionally had hard white specks lodge themselves tightly in the groove, as they must have been the same width as the groove. If my finger nail doesn't work, I use a wooden toothpick to remove the specks.

Often, small organic material sticks to the record surface. However, I cannot use an organic solvent to remove them, as the solvent also dissolves the vinyl PVC. Once after a garage sale , I discovered after getting home that white paint splatter was on the record surface. There is nothing that can be done for the reason described above.

It sounds like you already tried a water based cleaning solution, and that didn't work. Other than diluted alcohol, I cannot think of any other solvent to use that wouldn't hurt the record.
