This is normal. Don't worry about it, just wipe em off with every wash so it won't bake on. Little polish wouldn't hurt though!

Get some 000, or 0000 steel wool.

also is it normal to have some exhuast smoke come out the pipes? i was driving to work and a co-worker noticed some black smoke coming out the exhuast..is this normal too. i dont know if my exhuast is stock or if the original owner put custom exhuast on it only had the car for 2 weeks.
