How to Clean Black Spots on a White Car?
2 Answers
Small black spots on a white car are generally caused by dust, oil stains, or water scale, and can be cleaned with foam cleaner or tar remover. Excessive use of clay bars may result in a dull or lackluster paint finish, so it is advisable to apply a layer of wax to the car body after use. Here are methods for removing other types of stains: 1. Tar: If the black spots are tar adhering to the car paint, you can clean them with a tar remover. Remember to wear gloves when using tar remover. 2. Bird Droppings: If you frequently park under trees, your car will inevitably be attacked by bird droppings or tree sap. If the black spots are caused by substances like bird droppings, you can soak them with car shampoo or glass cleaner, and they can be easily removed after softening. 3. Iron Particles: If the black spots on the white car paint are dense iron particles, the above cleaners will not work. Only specialized clay bars or cleaning cloths can be used to slowly grind and remove them after washing the car body.
Black spots on a white car, such as iron particles, tree sap, or bird droppings, are actually not difficult to clean. I drive a white car myself, often parked outdoors under trees, so these small black spots frequently appear on the body. First, rinse the surface with water—don’t rush to wipe it to avoid damaging the paint. Then spray some dedicated car cleaner (common brands available in supermarkets work fine) and let it sit for a few minutes to soften the dirt. Next, gently scrub with a soft sponge or microfiber cloth—avoid using stiff brushes to prevent scratches. Finally, rinse thoroughly, and if possible, apply a layer of wax to protect the paint and reduce the chance of dirt sticking again. I do this regularly, and it takes about 20 minutes with instant results—the car body shines like new.
