Ok I figured out the pictures thing. They are kind of small since I took them with my phone but here you go.

First one not wiped off yet.


After QD and microfiber


Then a few days later it will disappear.

Ok QdotJ & 350Z84. You've got 2 different types of muck there. But my suggestions remain similar for both.

QdotJ, you need to soak you car with plenty of water, and then clean your car with a good quality car wash,dry with MF cloth, then either claybar or cleaner wax should remove most of those white dots, new MF cloth wipe of any excess product, then apply good quality wax, let dry, wipe off excess hazyness, then should be you sorted. (ps, before you wax you might be best off using some swirl remover, also make sure you're using 2 buckets of water, I will often use a specially set up watering can, so the washing cloth doesn't touch any muck off the car. )

350Z84, are these dots all over your PPW?? If just isolated areas, I would suggest making sure the areas are clean first, then using a cleaner wax and a nice MF cloth, sweeping motions, not scrubbing motions, then with another cloth wipe off any excess. Hopefully this will do the trick, then re-apply your favourite wax over the treated panels.

Good luck to both of you and let us know how you get along.

That's the stuff I have on my car up there ^^ Once you clean it off initially it takes a day or so and it disappears.

I would say in a given day I can find about 4 of these on the paint. Sometime they show up on the windows and seem to wipe right off without leaving a stained residue.

it ****in stained my hood!.. i was washing my car today.. and got two big spots on my hood w/ this stuff... me and a friend spent no joke 30 minutes scrubbing it w/ our nails/microfibers/all these removals... i even went to the extent of some rubbing alcohol... nothing took it off..

cousin told me to wash car w/ Mr. Clean soap and that it has something that keeps the bugs off and prevent or atleast lessen some of the yelloww dots... so thats the best i can offer you guys.. if any of you know how to take this stuff off ... let me know

^^^You obviously didn't read that many posts this thread...just forget about it and it will go away after a day in the sun. I did the same thing the first time i ever noticed that it stained...i went to town on it with some abrasive siht and it took a while to get it out.

Just wipe it off and the stain will go away with time.

I don't think the Mr Clean wash is going to do much for you on this problem though.
