Little white specs!

[Travlinlght]

i have been geting little white hard specs on my car. Its only occuring when my car is in the garage. I`d come out in the morning and see these little white specs. I can flick them off with my finger nail. They stick pretty good. It`s always in the same spot on my hood. My garage is like a barn, the cieling joists are exposed, no sheet rock or plywood. I thought maybe it was bug poop. I wonder if it`s coming from the wood? It`s not sappy or sticky. Almost like hardend paint. Leaves about 3-6 little specs. I`ll have to take a closer look at that spot above the car, pull out the ladder and take a look up high.

Anyone ever see or here of this.



The joists are probably 10-20 years old.



thanks

Looks like you have 2 choices here:



1) Hire an exterminator to exterminite the garage for bugs

2) But a universal dust cover and cover the car while its in the garage.



Cars aren`t safe anywhere....not even in the garage anymore! :eek:

wow. this is strange. I learned alot about these today!



My truck HAD (notice had) them and I took it to the auto body shop to get them looked at.



Possibility #1. (The worse)



Solvent Pop. This occurs when chems. in the clear coat rise up and form a little white zit. If you pop it there will be a hole left in the clear coat. The hole is how you tell if it is solvent pop.



Poss. #2



Tree Sap.



Poss #3



paint



Poss #4



droppings. Could be from anything small.



You might want to cehck for bugs right above where the white specs occur.



My spots were sap and paint.
