Before I went to the dealer I tried a clay bar and sap remover. Neither worked.
At the dealer I was told these spots were tree sap and the one near a scratch was touch up paint (that I guess a gnome put on overnight to a scratch just through the clearcoat not into the paint
). The two techs who looked at it shrugged it off and made me feel like an idiot. They suggested trying ethanol/methanol to get it off.
I went home and tried hand sani again (70% ethanol) with no success.
Then I went to Advance Auto where I know a few of the guys who work there. Two of them came and checked it out and said that it was NOT sap because a) it is perfectly clear and transparent b) it did not come off yet c) it was much harder than sap should be.
Anyways, I am moving 3 hours away in 3 weeks so I will probably just go to a dealer once I move. The car is still under warranty at least. Can't believe an auto manufacturer would overlook this. I also know that there is a thread already started relating to this matter so if I should post there let me know, otehrwise I will update this thread.
On a side note about nissan techs:
I dont normally like other people working on my car unless I know them previously and trust them. The last time I went to a Nissan dealership (2005) two of the techs complimented me on my nissan skyline (I was driving my STOCK 97 NISSAN 240sx) and once I corrected them one of the techs asked me why I put the skyline front end on my 240sx
For some reason I let those Nissan technicians install a waterpump in my 240. Picked it up an hour later and started driving down the road and it overheated. They had fogot to refill the coolant
they put coolant back in it for me and I finally got it home. The next day the main belt that goes around the waterpump shredded. This is why I do not trust Nissan and honestly would rather have my nissans serviced at my local Toyota dealership. So, wish me luck in dealing with Nissan on this one.
