Brown Dots on My Car

RE: Brown Dots on My Car By Linda257 (1) Contact I have these brown dots on my car, as well. However, there is no tree that can be leaving them! Someone told me that it is caterpillar poop, but I don't know if I believe that. My car has so many of these dots. I can pick them off, but it leaves a white dot! I was hoping for an answer as well!

Should be done in the shade. If it is hardwood, car soap should be fine. Posted on 07/16/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Brown Dots on My Car By kffrmw88 (769) Profile Blog! Contact Vinegar may will help remove the spots. I used it on the windshield to remove what they say were acid rain. It took several times using a sponge mop, good luck.

I know that lots of trees weep or drop sap. Pick a leaf and take it to a nursery-maybe if you know what it is, you can find out what to do about it.

And, absolutely do not use the credit card scrape method because that is damaging the finish. He also said that liquid dish soap is a tad abrasive, but ok for the worst spots. And above all, let water soak into the spots first.

If you can't get them off, you might consider parking somewhere else as it will hurt your resale value if you ever decide to sell.

I would try it in a shady spot, if you can find one these days! Posted on 07/13/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse
