  • Need help with this.

    Does anyone know what this is? It's on every vehicle I clean for this company. It does come off but you have to do a lot of rubbing. What thinking about using my DA and compound on it.

    Do you have any idea where these cars are being parked? Are they iron deposits? Some ironx or similar type product may be the way to go if they are.

      Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

      IronX and clay (or clay substitute).

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

        They are parked in a parking lot behind their building. Only thing around it is trees and houses.

          Is it an industrial area?

            R they parking it close to a brick building maybe, and as it rains somehow the brick clay mixes and the leaves that stain. I'm reaching here so.

              Could be something in the trees that is staining them.

                It looks like staining from little flowers found on trees.. Have you tried removing the stains with a claybar?

                    The building is brick. They come off with a bug sponge but you have to do alittle rubbing.

                          This is correct. My DD is a white Tahoe and it stays outside. I have these things all over the roof, hood, and sometimes on the sides anytime after it rains, and sometimes in the morning if anything falls from the trees and mixes with the dew. It is a pain in the &#@ to get off sometimes. I have different types of trees, so I don't know which one it comes from though.

                            These vehicles are parked by trees. I was told to either try using a clay bar with might work but may take to long or using a DA with compound. Which would be fast at removing them.

                              If the stains are recurring, It probably wouldn't be wise to polish them off with a DA. If clay gets it off but is a PITA, look into one of those nanoclay gloves.
