First thought was pollen but I'm thinking maybe paint from freshly painted lines on the road?

Clay bar and elbow grease.

Definitely looks to be spray paint or something similar :iono:

What @bcj said if it won't come off with a quick detailer and/or wash.

when i lived in california i got that alot, and was always told it was polution from the air

its called rail dust a good wash soap can clean it out

Looks like industrial overspray to me. Park downwind from anywhere where paint was being applied? Road striping comes to mind...


I get a few small yellow blobs in the summer on occasion - it's bee pollen that falls off their legs as they fly. But I've never seen it to this extent...

DSlayerZX 02-04-2014 12:31 PM

can you get a more close in shot at that.
but anyway, from the color, that's too vibrant to be rail dust.
I also got somethign similar to that, it's pollen left by bees... it appears themost often during spring time for me.

How ever, i have never seem it in that large of a scale before.

Looks like pollen to me! If it's wet or damp pollen will stick to the car and car be hard to get off. The only other thing I can see it being is road paint like others mentioned.

Either way its nothing a good wash cant remove. Maybe clay if its really stuck.

Looks like the car is totalled from the paint damage. I'll take it off your hands.

Little shards of materials who wanted so bad to become a FRS but this is the closest they will ever get. So sad...
