When I find spots on the car body, I often handle them myself. These spots could be from bird droppings, tree sap, or rain marks, which can corrode the paint if not cleaned promptly. First, rinse with water to remove loose dirt; then apply a car-specific cleaner and gently wipe to avoid scratches. For stubborn spots, I use a stain remover wax or clay bar. Remember, bird droppings are highly acidic and should be dealt with immediately to prevent permanent marks. After cleaning, ensure to apply wax to protect the paint. Regular car washing and parking in shaded areas can reduce the occurrence of spots. Last time, my car was parked under a tree for too long and accumulated many sap spots, but this method removed them all. Now, checking the car body weekly has become a habit, spots are fewer, and the car looks much newer.
