Paint issue!!!

Hey guys I have a white frs and I've been taking care of it very well washing and waxing and everything. I noticed this two orange spots on my paint not sure why I have them any ideas??? I also have an insurance I bought that covers the paint so hopefully they will be able to fix this

Have you tried washing it? Looks like the palm tree pollen that loves to stick to cars ...

Only thing that comes to mind is artillery fungus but its kinda big and oddly shaped. Maybe give an organic cleaner a shot?
Insurance is probably your best bet if regular cleaning isn't working

It's dirty, wash it. No need to call the national guard.

Do some searches in the forums for 'yellow spots' etc., plenty of info on these spots.

It can be tree sap, bird shit or dirt w/ some misc. contaminant. Either way, it's not a big issue. Just park it outside and let sunlight fade it away. I had plenty of those, they all faded away eventually.

Meguire's Quick Detailer and clay bar? Goo-Gone? Those are my favorite products, but I'm not a professional. (DON'T use Lift-Off)
