I washed it, and tried waxing it they are all still there. It goes in for a full detail next week but i am worried this wont come out, i just bought this cobalt ss yesterday:

Anyone know what the hell this could be?

When you say you waxed it, did you go through a full process of cleaner, polish then wax, or did you just wax it?

just wax, i had a jeep before, i dont got all those tools lol. Like i said this week it goes in for a full detailing. im just trying to figure out what it is and if this will ever come out, the hood is covered in this, rest of the car is fine

Clay bar the car, I need to do my wifes Scion tc this week, most likely sap from a tree or pollutants in the air.

alright, well if they dont do it in the detail i will get a clarbar kit and do it. Thanks guys, hopefully this comes out, be very dissapointing if it doesnt, really beautiful car, this takes away from it

are they on your bumper too? It might be pitting in the paint from getting sand hitting your car on the highway. My front end looks like swiss cheese now because of it

tad bit on the bumper but mostly the hood and you cant really feel it with your hands. When you look at it in person, it looks like its ontop of the paint.

Waxing won't remove anything from your car. The clay bar will remove surface contaminents but if it is etched into the paint, you would need a good wax cleaner (Stage 1 of Meguiars or Mothers wax products). If you are getting it detailed, they should be able to get it out.

As for what it is, I would think that it probably is sap that landed on the car at some time when it was under a tree during a rain storm. It's amazing what will come off of some trees when it rains. Then the sun bakes it into the paint...good fun. It should come out though.

Talked to the dealership and they said that they would make sure it comes out even if they need to repaint it since i just bought it so im not worried. Its also all over the back bumper too, deffinately not rock chips but i will be sure to post some more pics once its all freshly detailed and cleaned. So far very happy with it. Im new to 5 speeds, so far stalled it once but i think im doing pretty good

Looks like tree sap to me.

I have this all over my car. I didnt notice it until after the winter and the dealer wont touch it. Clay bar did nothing nor the wax. actually, ever sence winter, the car doesnt seem to wax just right either. im going to the detailer soon
