Help please! Anyone know what these marks are and how to get them off? Brand new 2013 picked up only 2 days ago...one spot on the roof, one on the door and fender. Didn't come off when I washed it thoroughly.

you or the dealer let yellow bird **** sit on it too long, it stained the clear.

I think if you give it a good wash and wax it will go away or blend.

I just noticed this on my car as well and I generally always keep it washed/waxed. It can't be from bird ****...either way I havent tried claying or taking a compound to it but thats the next step.

These marks are definitely at the surface so should come out one way or another.

It is bird **** cause i saw bird **** on my car, wiped it off and the stains look exactly the same.

But i kept working at it and waxing it, and its now gone.

I get those too sometimes, don't know what it is but they fade away after a couple of days... Hopefully yours will do the same

dilluted bird poo. nothing worse than a bird with runs. If your car is polished and waxed, it would be easy to take off. that will go away with a good cleaning.

^what he said..

i use "meguiar's mirror glaze 9 (professional swirl remover 2.0)" to get those out. usually start with my finger to pin-point the area then buff it out

Thanks for the answers, 2 things, my car is not waxed and I don't know how to polish nor use a buffer nor do I have one. Is there anything specific that I should go and buy of some sort for a non-experienced detailer such as myself? Possibly a spray or liquid cleaner to rub on the affected areas?

If washing wont take it off nor will some quick detailer/wax cut it. Then it has etched the clear and you will have to buff it out. I would look at getting the Meguiars buffer to buff it out. It is a little cheaper compared to getting a porter cable or the like. Any dual action polisher will work. Or take it to a professional detailer to have it corrected. Good luck...I hate birds oh and wait til next Spring you will hate bee's too..they like to poop on your car as well.....I suggest next morning sit on your porch while eating a plate of scrambled eggs to show them birds you mean business!

To be honest now that you mentioned bee sh*t, I think that's what left the mark because there were no trees in the area I was parked and I did notice a good amount of bees. Ugh this is very frustrating.

Show, there was a thread on this forum about a month or two back. I believe the answer was that it's from bees and the pollen their carrying falls. I have a PW G35 and that yellow stain has happened to me on numerous occasions. Immediate washing/cleaning or detailing does not remove it. However in a week or two, it just goes away. I know that sounds strange, but if you look at my G35 there are no yellow stains.
