What is the yellow dot on the car?

There are two possibilities, here are the details: Dust or other impurities: When driving in dusty areas, dust and impurities may accumulate on white paint surfaces. Some impurities are stubborn and cannot be removed with regular cleaning, such as tar and bird droppings. These sticky impurities require special cleaners for soaking, stain removal, and rinsing to be completely eliminated. Car rust: During windy and rainy weather, if the car is parked outdoors, the inner layer of the car cover may repeatedly whip the paint, creating numerous tiny scratches on the body. If sand and dust get inside the cover, the number of scratches increases. Over time, this can also dull the paint. Additionally, after a sandstorm, avoid using a duster or cloth to clean sand particles off the car body directly. Instead, rinse the car with water to prevent the sand particles on the duster or cloth from scratching the paint.
Last month when I drove back from the outskirts, several small yellow spots inexplicably appeared on the car body, possibly from tree resin or dried splashed mud. If these small stains aren’t cleaned promptly, they can penetrate the paint, causing oxidation or even peeling. Last time, I used automotive clay to gently remove them, but it’s important to choose specialized products to avoid scratching the surface. Paint protection is crucial, especially for white cars which show dirt easily. It’s advisable to park away from tree canopies and corrosive environments. Regular washing with mild detergent and waxing can extend the car’s lifespan. Maintaining a clean appearance isn’t just about aesthetics—it also preserves the vehicle’s value. Small issues like these can accumulate and lead to bigger problems if ignored.
