It's definitely some kind of insect dropping, I caught it in action and wiped it off before it dried up and stained.

Yes, I know it sounds strange. I've had those yellow spots on a number of occasions this past year and if you look at my car today, you will not find any.

No special treatment, I usually wash my car once a week and by the next weeks wash, I can't seem to find it:confused: But happy it goes away.

+1

Wax keeps the car protected so if there is **** on the car, it will be on top of the wax. Try a clay bar on it, should do the trick.

How about dryer sheets? IIRC, I read about using dryer sheets to remove bug gutts and whatnot. It works great, but strips wax. Don't use in direct sunlight.

OP, did you find the cure for this?

My only cure it to buff it out like it was a scratch,,.not easy since I dont have a buffer.. I am going to see what happens if I just wash it and let it go as someone suggested..maybe the sun causes it to evaporate...hope so..

And another thing,.,Please dont refer to me as OP.. I may be an Old Person but you dont have to keep mentioning it!:tup::icon17:

I work on a flight line and was always under the impression it was fuel run off particle mist. Bee poop sounds much better. Never really had a problem with it though.

Absolutely!

The problem is that it also etches the paint, which may not be as noticeable on white but it is still there even once you remove the actual droppings. And no wax will protect the paint from that etching as the bee droppings (the yellow dots) is highly acidic, even my 2 layers of Cquartz coating won't completely stop it from etching even if I remove the dropping as quickly as possible.

My observations are that as soon as it's dry, it's already etched.
