I do have trees at the end  of my garden but even when parked in front of the house they still appear from nowhere  :angry:

Tar spots perhaps, especially on leading edges and the lower parts of the car, I get them quite a lot, can be quite stubborn to come off aswell

Tar spots or brake outfall or possibly tree sap, very noticeable on white cars and hard to shift. AS much as you have trees at the end of your garden, a decent breeze and the sap can drift for a good few metres. Happens in our street, trees out the front but a good breeze and my car round the back of the house will get covered.

 

Iron-x or Dragons Breath will get rid but you will need to reapply your wax / LSP again.

Yes it's just tar spots. Once you remove them just try keep your protection up as this will reduce the amount you get
When you do see them remove them right away as letting them build up will mean a big job for you

I've heard the same recently, and had similar on my car, but more yellow/brown in appearance.

It just wipes straight off the Gtechniq coating.

I've had these yellow spots recently, I was sure it was insect crap.

It washed straight off so I know it wasn't tar.

Those Brown spots could be associated with dogging.
