Spots on pearl white paint

[opineno]

I recently found a few small spots on the paint of my Model Y. Color is pearl white (PPSW). Thus, far I tried using Meguiar's car wash, Quik Detailer, and ScratchX, as well as Adam's Iron Remover... to no avail. Anyone has found similar stains on their car? If so, any luck removing them? Thanks in advance for the help.

Try claybar. It can usually pick the stuff up out of the paint.

The spots may be under the clear coat. My 2020 LRMY, also Pearl White Multicoat, has one spot low down on the driver's door. I consider it a beauty mark.

You can also try Meguires Ultimate Compound. Just don’t be too aggressive.

Are they kind of reddish? I think I got my spots from bugs. I'm more diligent with hand washing (quick rinseless wash of front, and adding hybrid ceramic wax). Here is my thread about it ->

MY White Paint thick enough for Harbor Freight buffer?

So after the car wash today, I was wiping the normal gunk that doesn't come off, and ...what I think is just old bug gut remnants are NOT coming off. I tried goo gone, goof off, wd40 and mineral spirits. Its not doing a thing. Spots all over front fender, rear view mirrors, etc. Only thing...

When you finish cleaning use some G-Tecniq ceramic coating (DIY) with CLS lite and Exo V4. Makes
Future car washes so easy and bug removal a non-issue.

After each wash, dry using bead maker and a clean microfiber. Keeps the coat slick and protected.

It’s worth the cost! I can wash whole car in 15-20 minutes and come out looking super fresh and not water soaked using some rinse less wash and a dozen micro fibers.

Good luck!

I have a Shanghai 2024 Model 3 in Deep Blue Metalic that came with water marks on the rear panels and the trunk. I pointed them out when I was accepting the car and said "will these come off with when I wash it?" They thought so but washing it cleaning it and waxing it made no difference. I took it back and showed them and they said try the clay bar and if it doesn't come off, bring it back and we'll polish them out today. Clay bar didn't seem to work so I had a friend who's used to polishing apply some polish on a small area and polish it and guess what they don't come off with polish. Anybody on the string have any ideas?
