I found this looking for what that stuff was everyday on my car. It wasn't that bad a few years ago but damn I have to scratch the hard stuff off with my nail
Some detail guy wrote this
So what are those yellow-gold dots? In two words, bee poop. Yes, bees do poop and when you live in an area with LOTS and LOTS of bees, you ‘ll find these yellow-gold dots of the digested pollen the bees eat on pretty much everything that isn’t covered. Bees follow the same route (or flight plan) over and over when traveling to and from their hives, so some places get hit more than others.
So now the mystery is solved! These mystery yellow-gold spots are the waste droppings of bees. Want to avoid getting them on your car or windows? When you find an answer, please let me know.
Meanwhile, many of our customers have to deal with this problem and I am given the task of figuring out the most cost efficient means of removing them both for the customer and for our company.
We tried using the pressure washer. Tried using different soaps. Different abrasive scrubbers. We tried different acids. Nothing worked.
What did work, and was surprisingly easy, was using pure water to clean with and a waterfed pole. Bingo. Now we have a method to take these spots off, and it only costs a tad more than it would for a typical window cleaning!
