I think prep is important. I washed the car and wiped it down with alcohol prior to clay bar. Only used one coat because you have to compound it off to remove. Now that I know I like it, I will do two coats.

I get those too. I use a sheep skin wash mit which makes them super easy to remove. Most likely is some organic material. I did think it's bird wee-wee.. but is that even a thing?! :rofl: .. probably is just pollen. :D

Definitely just pollen and organic debris getting cooked on the finish. I researched it thoroughly.
