Google is your friend. Some of the advice here is just terrible. Whaap is right, its sounding like your are discovering rail dust for the first time, clay bar is the solution. Google away, or autopia.org but dont dare start a new thread.

But if you have done all that and it feels smooth than there is no sap on there and it is most likely the yellow rail rust spots. It may be "terrible" advice but I had the tiny yellow spots and freaked out about them. Called the guy who paint corrected and opticoated my car and he said to leave in the sun. Boom, they went away. |

I've had this tree sap and yellow spots thing on my whiteout before time and time again since ownership. Seems to go away on its own with sunlight, rain, and car washing. Cleaner wax might help as well.

UPDATE: week or two now, tried every product right down to alcohol and nail polish remover, been parked in the sun constantly, and they don't seem to be going anywhere. Took it to a detail shop today in town and he went at it with escalating chemicals, ending with alcohol and he couldn't get it, when I asked about wet sanding he seemed reluctant and didn't think it would come off after he just went at it with alcohol for 10 minutes. ...FUCK!!!
Anyways, here's the pics I never got around to posting, not the worst thing, but still shitty on a car that hasn't even hit 5k yet, not to mention it's also my first new car! |

Hey @Muskokan, I get the same thing on my Whiteout as well. You can imagine how pissed I was when I saw them for the first time ("What the hell? This car is 3 months old and the extra $200 paint job is already permanently marred?!") This is !
I wash my car pretty regularly. I have yet to wax, and after a wash I see these yellow tree sap-looking stains that cannot be rubbed out, no matter how hard I try. But strangely, after parking in the sun on the next day I no longer see them. I was confused until I read this thread as well. FWIW, your spots look really similar to mine. Still don't know what they are, but they are back every two weeks. I'll try to get a pic of mine to see if we have the same problem when it comes back. |

If you come in to Mississauga, go see Kevin at GTA In Detail and I'm positive he would be able to help. The guy is a detailing genius!!

From the not so clear photos my money is that its rust particles in the paint. You will get these on ALL paints but you see them much easier on white. Get some iron X and disolve them, you can also clay them, but its likely you will just shave the tops off of the particles.
If you drive a car on roads that has a snow, and the road is plowed, you will get these. It is my opinion that the blades on the plow leave behind metal shavings in the snow they then get splattered onto the paint sticking into the paint. I decon my paint each spring from this. Cheers, GREG
