Hi guys.
After detailing my 7 weeks old alpine white E92 (wash, clay, klaase AIO, Klasse high gloss), I parked the car at the office, i noticed it was covered with yellow fine pollen layer, an hour later it rained and there were multiple small yellow droplets on the trunk and hood. I managed to wipe the bigger ones right away, and thought, what the heck, I am all covered with Kalsse protection layers right ? WRONG ! these small droplets burned itself in ( talking about 2 -3 I can clearly see), they look like a small circular spider webs , very hard to spot unless you're as crazy as I am looking with a halogen light !!, I clayed, and AIO a few spots - NOTHING, still there, very fine but definitely there .
Is there any mild abrasive solution I can use to remove these manually ?

Thanks
BP

Could try Zaino Z-PC or Poorboys Polish with Sealant. Both are pretty versatile and have some slight abrasive properties (and can be applied by hand on a foam applicator).

Aside from that though, you may need a more thorough polish/correction with Menzerna products.

all clay bars are abrasive. swissvax just has a fancy name for their clay bar. i have their clay bar, and i must say it is one of the better ones i've used. It's still just a clay bar though

for your bird poo, i'd try an AIO first. if that doesn't work, you'll need some abrasive polish

It sounds like you have water spots and the pollen didn't help any either. Wash the car and then wipe the spots with vinegar and see if that works.

Water spots/etching will go right through and LSP if left long enough

Try a mild polish like Poorboys SSR1 then look at getting a good carnuba to protect it. sounds like you didnt have a strong enough LSP to protect it maybe? also what did you wash it with?

Inevitable. These are water spots. You can try a paint cleaner or water spot remover or diluted vinegar, but I find that you'll eventually get some. Just use a light polish 2x per year to get crap like that out. In the meantime, it's not noticeable to anyone but you.

Thanks everyone for your kind advice.
I will try to use the Zaino -pc cleaner.
I must admit I am surprised with how easy it is to damage your finish in what is considered a luxurious car. I dont recall my previous car ( Infiniti G35x) to be that sensitive.. or is it just me being more protective of the Bimmer ?

I actually used Pinnacle clay, followed by meticulous Klasse AIO treatment, followed by Klaase SG .
I washed with turtle Ice car wash.
Will I need to have a PC for the polish or can this be done manually for each spot ?
Thanks
