Hope this is the right spot.


I have been lurking here for a week or so and joined today because of all the great info. I'm new to taking care of my car, the right way. I tend to write more than I should so if you really want to know about me I posted in the welcome forum.

My question is, I get these things on my paint that won't come off very easily with quick detail spray. I'm not sure what they are and how to remove them between washes. I'm thinking pollen but not sure.


Is there by chance info out there on common "droppings" on cars (showing photos) what they are, and how to remove them?


Below is what I have on my car. Sometimes they are darker.


Thank you

Bee poop! I think I answered my own question. Was a pain to search because I had no idea what phrase to google. Guess it's made up of wax but I don't want to "pick" them off the car and they won't come off with QD and a MF. Maybe there is a product that loosens their grip on the paint?


Thanks
 
Stoners tarminator will safely remove this without having to use much pressure. If this is a common issue for you, i would recomend opti-coating your vehicle and optimum car wax after every wash to make your life easier in the long run
 
Thanks guys.


I'm getting on them the day it happens but they do sit there while at work. I'll try your suggestions. It's strange how they will come off so easily if you push them with your nail but when I use QD I have to go over it like 5 time, spraying it with QD each time and it only gets smaller. Trees, birds, bees, nature really sucks. Lol


Well my Sun Joe 3000 power washer will be here today and I have the MTM foamer waiting for it. Going to see how easily they come off with that.


BTW I had a detail last Friday, a good one that I paid a decent amount for. After correction and polishing he used Nanoskin ceramic sealant. I'm new to this and just learning all the products. Not sure if that is considered good protection from these types of things.


Thanks again. It's crazy, last week I had no clue what UWW+ or QD mean. If you mentioned Rupes to me I would have thought you had a sexually transmitted disease, and lubricity was how it started. This week I know a ton and and picking up on your millions of acronyms .


Also very friendly forums. I'm in a few Evo X forums (my car) and if you aren't using the parts others are, they blast you. Lol
