why the F are our paint soo cheap, soft?

some yellow pollen crap was on my car, used some quickdetail spray to remove it and now theres a freaking spot spot embedded onto the clear coat? wtf? its like a cicle.... a cloudy circle... tried using some cleaner wax but it barely made any difference.. kinda hard to explain, but looks like hard waterspots that are baked into the sun.

also, a bunch of swirl marks from where i did the cleaning...

what kinda crap is that/ oh yeah, my car is black.

Bees droping there ****.............

I have a Twilight Blue coupe and the bees are always
leaving me presents.......to me it isn't a problem!
If you have several coats of good quality wax on your
new G most anything will just wash off. That includes
tree sap, bird crap and your favorite bee pollen. Just
beware of hard water spots, that generally requires
color sanding......OUCH!

i use ziano to wax my car. it leaves the car super smooth and makes cleaning up anything a breeze. 2 days ago i washed and zianoed my car and it rained yesterday. woke up with a buncha rain spots but i just took a 100% cotton cloth and wiped it all off. its just like dust, you could prob use a swiffer pad if u wanted to. oh and if your crazy like me and put multiple coats of ziano on, and drive in the rain after, all the rain water beads up and rolls off, till you come to a stop

yes, those yellow spots are small, if i wash them out, i still see a spot on the clear coat and they will not go away..

right now, i am talking about water spots... which are all over my trunk, hood and pillar.... the will not come out with cleaner wax.... i am pretty pissed..

car is about 3 months old with 2k miles on it.

Yellow from pollen (and leftover bug residue) will weather out in the sun - or at least it has for me.

Blame the soft paint on the environmental standards around the world. If you think it's only present on the G, or lesser cars, google and do some reading. It's a problem present in all late model cars.

This is sooooooooo true. Tougher laws = acid rain stains
