Help with leaf marks

Hey people, i hoping for some suggestions on how to get leaf marks of my car paint. Every fall got this problem, normally i take to some one but already did that and its full of marks again. Of course result of having to park under a tree.
I haven't tried anything yet. Want to see what other people have done for this matter.
Thx

A Quick Detailer spray should clean them or a quick Optimum No Rinse wash.

A cleaner wax should work. Like Megs cleaner wax and give a little protection too.

And if the claybar fails, then a serious paint cleaner, or even an abrasive polish. Some leaves *really* stain. Multiple layers of KSG seems to be the only thing that's truly impervious to 'em IME.

Re: Help with leaf marks

Just to add to all of this, if none of this works you can use dawn to strip all the wax off, then you will need to wax and reseal, but if all else fails this usually works.
