Just noticed this on my car last night after washing. Couldnt not get them off with rubbing a microfiber cloth over it and it feels smooth to the touch. Still cant figure out what it is exactly since my car is garaged and typically always clean... I will try leaving a damp cloth on it to wet it and see if that can get it off, if not, clay bar time.

Did you see my posting? Mine were caused by pine needles..

Well group I finally figured it out quite by accident.
I got into my car today and drove to the gym. I noticed something on the hood but figured it would blow away.. when I came out of the gym I noticed it was still there..so I flicked it off with my fingers and there was an orange spot.. it was caused by a pine needle..

I got home and nothing would get that spot off except a light buffing and refinish..

Isnt there something that dissolves this material besides actual buffing?

But I am getting better.. i got the spot off and managed to buff the shine back into the hood..

Thanks to all ...just thought you might want to know..

HOLD ON EVERYONE.. ITS NOT PINE NEEDLES!!
I thought it was pine needles because, well, it looked like one and there are needles in my sons yard which is about fifteen miles away

Well today I was washing my car and saw a fly on it.. i brushed him away and there was a blob of something..it moved it with my finger and THERE WAS AN ORANGE SPOT.,.

so mystery solved ..now the next question is how to get rid of it without a bunch of buffing and polishing??.. that crap is hard to remove!!!

I was reading about flies and here is how its done PUT DOWN YOUR FOOD BEFORE READING THIS

Flies vomit their stomach contents on solid food. Digestive juices from the stomach start breaking the solid food into small pieces. Mixed with the stomach juices and other stuff in its stomach, the fly can now use its proboscis to drink the liquid.

so what kind of food were they eating on the car?? Maybe they carry bits of food from the garbage can nearby..
