Pollen (i think)
 
whenever i am parking outside i always ended up getting those lil yellow round spots on my car that leaves a yellowish tone on the clear coat that i cant seem to get rid of.

I think they are pollens but i am not sure, luckily i have a GM Z so the spots are not very noticeable.

anyone have a quick solution for this? I cant imagine what my cant will look like if i have the PW Z. 'White, with a hint of yellow... all over the effin place'
:shakes head:

Maybe it's pollen or tree sap..

I know I'm about to start washing off the sap drizzle that's ALL OVER my car :(

i dont think they are tree saps, we barely have enough trees here in so cal to even think of that possibility :tiphat:

is it all over the paint equally or just in small spots? I wouldn't say it was likely pollen if it's in spots, but anything is possible... you should throw some pics up and we can help you more.

Is your car sealed/waxed? How long since the last time it was done if so?

I have the same problem. Little yellow/orangeish spots that appear out of no where and leave some kind of residue behind after you wipe off the top layer. I also get lines instead of spots sometimes.

not pollen, that would just wipe off.

Its tree sap,goodluck gettin that off.

I had spots on my car and I realized it was fly poop... they weren't yellow. Get it off of the car asap and then put a GOOD coat of sealant on it... a hard sealant such as opti-coat, FinishKare, Collinite double wax, etc... layer that stuff on so it won't stick as bad anymore.

I'm pretty sure the eraser sized yellow spots on your paint are bee droppings. Might sound kind of far fetched, but google it.

these are bluish ... almost brown in color... and while some of them could be bee droppings. I had the car in the garage with no bees .. but A LOT of flies and there were little spots all over.


OP: I would suggest Klasse All in one.. it's a GREAT product and will remove tar, stains, light scratches and swirls and will seal the paint at the same time. You can do the whole car in it and I believe it's good for about 3-4 months.. but use gentle car wash... look for something that says it won't strip wax. Phil had sent me a sample of Lusso I believe is how it's spelled and it was great wash... very mild and 1 ounce would give you an entire bucket of suds. I also think Dodo makes a car wash that I can't remember the name it's like wild to mild or something.

hmmmm, never been out west so I never experienced that one.

I have wondered about this for years and one day I walked a warehouse and found one of my cars these yellow spots all over the car. Above the the car in the rafters was a bee's nest. Mystery solved, it's bee pollen. It will leave a very light yellow stain when washed but the stain can be easily removed with some detail spray or very fine polish.
