Bee Poop? Help removing..

Pelican170 · 07-10-2012, 12:36 PM

Ok, so while waxing last night I noticed some spots in the correct light that look almost like scratches. Then with a closer look I notice that it is some sort of residue around a yellow dot that i cannot get off. I have read it could be Bee Poop. Clay Bar wont get it off. Anyone have a fix for this? Maybe a bug and tar remover but i typically havent liked to use those since I think they are harsh. Anyone suggest a good one or alternative?

It might be rail dust. Try Aquartz Iron cut.

It's iron deposits that sticks to the paint. It looks like tiny dots. It's pretty hard to remove, even with a clay bar if it's embeded in the paint. The Aquartz dissolves the iron without damaging the paint. Detailer Domain uses it all the time and I use it once a year while doing a full detail on my car. Very effective....it kinda smells thought.

No it's bee poop. I have it on my car as well. This product supposedly lifts what looks like a yellow stain off the clear coat. Let me know if you use it before I do.

Read about someone using it on MyG37.com when looking up how to get rid of yellow dots. No idea why that supposed to work better than any other car soap. I am going to wash my car before ordering anything that is supposed to get it off.

Here is the link

The only thing ONR will do is leave streaks. If clay can't lift it, ONR sure as hell won't.

The clay can't get to it because it's probably below the surface.

speedfreek · 07-10-2012, 03:22 PM

Yea I wasn't sure why they said to use ONR. Seemingly all it is car shampoo. Maybe they meant to use it for the clay lubricant part. I just want to remove the yellow spots left from the bee doo doo. I am going to wash it this weekend and clay bar it. Hope that removes it.

bee poop in my area is a dark brown/black dot. it insanely sticks to the paint and stinks when you try to remove it.

sometimes after the poop dries in the sun, the only way to remove it is clay or polish.
i recommend removing it asap if you have a lighter colored car as it does stain.

blackcherry20 · 07-10-2012, 03:52 PM

I had no idea sucha thing even existed.

the things you learn on this forum....

(more to worry about)

Exactly why I started the thread. I used a Pinnacle clay bar last night and had no luck at all. Ive read that maybe this clay is too soft. I think id rather try a bug and tar remover first, then rewax the area before trying a harder clay. The last thing I want to do is screw up the paint...

The bug and tar remover is pretty safe for the most part. I use 1Z einszett Anti-Insekt. If it's deep enough where a clay bar can't get it, I don't think the b&t remover will either. Worth a shot though.

Pelican170 · 07-11-2012, 10:03 AM

Yea, i went to the local auto zone and bought turtle wax bug and tar remover. It took off only a little of one of the spots, after a lot of scrubbing with a microfiber towel. Still not fixed totally. I think im going to have to polish it and then rewax to get rid of it at this point...
