Detailers, I'm curious, and hopefull this will take off. What year/make do you drive, and what is your personal care routine? Wash/Wax/Polish frequency and products used!

Also, what is a Paint Cleaner really? Does it just clean away old wax/polish/sealent, or does it actually do something to the paint?

How about XMT 360. Is it designed as a product for detailers to do a one step job on a customers car every couple of years. Or is it designed for personal, repeated use?

How frequently can I use polishes and/or compounds on my Daily Driver? Can products like XMT 360 be used routinely without wearing down the paint? How about Klasse AIO? XMT 3/2/1? Paint Cleaners? Glazes? I've had my Jeep now for 4 years, and frequently wax and polish... Eventually will I...

I'd like to try XMT360 and/or Wolfgang Sealant.

OK, the local CarQuest had Clay Magic clay bars... Blue (fine) and Red (medium). Picked up the bar of red and a bottle of Meg's Detailer.... finally something that works.... !!!! So, lessons learned.. 1) Insects on leaves (certain types) can crap on your car, and leave thousands of tiny...

I'll look into the Prep Sol, thanks for all the help guys... I called around to the local detail shops, since I am new to the area, wondering if they delt with this often, all of them said they would try different types of clay. One of them delt with a vehicle like this last summer, and wet...

OK, update on the attempts.... Tarminator didnt touch it, citrus degreaser didnt touch it, and now an Orange Light cut pad and Turtle wax ( I didnt have any fine cut's, so i had to go OTC) liquid rubbing compound (mod to heavy oxidation so they say), did really touch it either... This stuff has...

OK, this is going way too far, but I pulled off a couple of leaves from the tree, and first thing I noticed is the top of the leave is speckled with the same thing on my paint, so the leaves above it are definatly dropping it, this eliminates the possibility of paint overspray, etc... Next thing...

Yes, it looks alot like that.. what did you do to get it off? Mike

Hmmmm... never thought of bug droppings... Here's what it looks like on the blue Jeep... And here's a pic of the damn tree... not sure what it is...

Not sure exactly what type of tree it is, but its huge... I might actually go out there now and take a picture of it I am so frustrated. When you look at the sap on the clear lenses, it apprears somewhat brownish, and also stained the white pad a bit brown as well. Pretty sure its not paint...

OK, here's the things I tried that were all available locally.... - Rubbing alcohol, lets sit for 10 mins on a soaked towel... - didnt touch it.. - WD40 - didnt touch it - Stoner's Tarminator - sprayed small area, let sit for 3 mins.... wiped off... no work.... Im starting to wonder if...

No, I'll do anything to get this off! These pics are after a wash with Duragloss/Dawn, and a quick clay job w/Meguiars clay/detailer... Update: Tried some Turtle Wax Bug/Tar off spray from Walmart ($3), figured it was worth a try... Let it sit on a spot for a few mins, then wiped it...

more, showing close up, a window pillar, and the spot I ran the PC with AIO for 3 min

hmmm, not sure why they didnt show up, I had them as attachments... lets try again... And no, you cant get them off with your fingernail.... rubbing alcohol on an applicator didnt work either..

I went to detail one of our vehicles this weekend, and it is usually the one that sits outside (under some sort of birch tree). We just moved here, so this is the first time I noticed the problem. After washing, I discovered the majority of the car was covered with what is shown in the pics...

Here's the last thing I am really hanging on... Klasse SG or Wolfgang highgloss Sealent?

First off all, thanks in advance for the help. I have been a long time personal detailer, and have used the PC7424 for a while, but have just recently realized the Meguiars products I've always used, just arent the best. What product recommendations do you have for my 04 Jeep Wrangler and 05...
