Help!!
Last night I was parked under a tree during a thunderstorm, and when I came out to get in my car a few hours later, some type of crap from the tree had fallen on my hood and left yellow spots all of the place.(I have a white TL)!! THey weren't leafs, it was more like broken nuts or something. The problem is that I can't get this stuff off. Has this happened to anyone, and if so, what the hell do I do to remove it. I'm freakin out here!!!!!

Alot of times when Im parked under a tree, I have had sap drip onto my car. It wont come out with soap and water. Try some wd-40 or some kind of adhesive remover, that might work.

Trust me, I've sprayed, buffed, waxed, and tried everything else I can think of. It looks as if it seeped under the clear coat. It was actually some type of nuts that had broken open and the rain helped this stuff just seep out. It happend in Norman, Oklahoma. I was on campus at OU watching the OU game.

Please use a Bug&Tar remover that is clearcoat safe for yor paint.
Some other products are not clearcoat safe & may damage paint.
After use of the product rewax the sections that it was used on.

Just give it time, I also have a white TL and once in a while there are yellow marks on my car and I try everything to get rid of it, but somehow the next time I wash my car the yellow mark is not there anymore.
