Right. Assuming your car was bought new in WA, it was discharged from a ship in Portland and trucked to Seattle so has never been on a train.

I'm guessing tree sap that most car washes won't touch. If so, it'll take a good quality fine polish and random orbital buffer for the best outcome or a gentle claybar treatment followed by protective wax.
