Old problem returns
 

Last year i mentioned this problem and it seems to have come back again...

some insect or some thing from the trees is landing on my car and leaving a yellow spot that absolutely cannot be removed with any substance I have found..it actually has to be taken out buy buffing,.and i don't have a buffer..

I have tried everything including paint thinner, citrus cleaners and the usual assortment of car cleaners but nothing short of removing them by hand with a buffing pad will do..and even then its a chore.. You can imagine what removing several of them must be like..

I would be willing to be many other cars have this spot but because my car is white, it shows very clearly.

There must be some chemical that will dissolve this mysterious substance and save my sanity!


Also.. I shot a pic of this spot and put a penny in the shot for size comparison...Its not in real clear focus but its just a blob..if you need a clearer shot I will get one..

I have no clue as to how to embed this in my post..maybe some good Samaritan will do it for me .. all i can do is post the small pic ..and hope.
Thanks

Some have suggested it is bee poop and that you may be parking in a bee flyway.

What's behind spots on autos? - Los Angeles Times

Others say rust/lime mixture dripping off old garage door?

I get this **** too, and it looks awful on Bsil too.

One of the guys on the forum who had has the same problem, swears by this stuff.

I also get this daily. I'm convinced its bee poop, but whatever it is, it drives me crazy!!!

Keep your car waxed and quick detailer... tough spots? Clay bar.

I'm convinced it's tree sap and/or pollen

:iagree: Good coat of wax may make removal of the spots easier in the future.

you know Guard Dad told me it was bee droppings but I insisted it was from flies..guess I should learn to listen to my elders...:tup:
I wonder if he will see this?

I get this on my PW G35 coupe as well, have no idea what it's from. Drives me crazy when I get it as well. My car is always well polished and even after I wash it, it's still there. But here's the weird thing, a day or two after washing, it's gone. No evidence whatsoever:confused: But I'm thankful it goes away.

I just waxed the damn car but these spots are resistant to extra wax and clay bars...
At this time the ONLY thing that can remove them is a strong buffing..no chemical or cleaner will take them away..Not that I know of,,,but something tells me that somewhere some one knows of some chemical that will dissolve them...

this report is strange..You just wash them and even though they are still there when you finish, days later they disappear??

Thanks for the advice but this does not work...

Bet I'm Elderer
 

Sometimes old people can use the Internet too.

the yellow spot looks like pollen to me... i get those spots on my black Z from time to time, but they come off rather easily with some QD. and just an FYI.. fly poop can be identified as tightly grouped tiny brown spots (QD takes care of them, too).

Wow, don't let that sit there.

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.

Dumb, I know, but what is QD?

Yes I know...I am 68

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:

:rofl2:Good one, I'll remember that one as I'm catching up, have a great day Charlie!!!

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.

have you tried meguiars products in what i recommended. i get crap like that on my car fairly often. im able to rub it out. but then again. you picked white. i have gm, so maybe some of it hides in the shades of gray to where i dont see it? naaah... i think meguiars works. try it.:tup:

Quick Detail spray

Meguiars quik detail and clay bar to rub shyt out. :tiphat:

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.
