Some real, good ole florida problems

Well, I purchased my g37 a few weeks ago. I got the amethyst graphite color and was very pleased with the selection. I have encountered one problem. I normally keep my car garage kept, but obviously throughout the day it is left in parking lots and what not. I live in Florida so you get a few pollen spots every once in a while. Well, I went to do my weekly wash and such, and noticed then when i removed any pollen spots, there was a yellow residue that was left behind. I tried a light rubbing compound, and a little bit of elbow grease after my wash, but no luck.

If anyone has had this happen, or would know a solution just post up =)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. it is the 2008 model


thanks again

I think the oak pollen is starting...... it is a PITA here in FL.
It really helps to frequently wax your vehicle - makes the removal much easier, and should see less spotting.

Do what we do here in Ohio. You just keep a nice light dusting of snow or ice all over your car for 5 months. When it melts, good as new!!!

thank!

thanks for the info guys haha! I'm in Naples and its the those freaking pine trees have a fetish for g's lol

I'll try the McGuire's, that sounds perfect. I'm wondering if its just the clear coat for that year, or if it was the wax that was previously on the car when i bought it form the dealership.

perplexing yes?

thanks again for everything!
