hmm, i have the same problem on my other car (still waiting to get the G) but its mainly on the sunroof due to tree sap from the gigantic pine tree in my front yard.

 

If they don't wash off, you might want to read up on clay bars. See Car Care and Detailing section.

 

Have you heard of products designed to wash your car, not items you eat off of? Your dishes do not have painted/clearcoat surfaces. Your dishes are not "parked" outdoors. Your dishes do not travel at high speeds. Dishwashing soap is not designed for your car. Just like carwash soap is not designed for your dishes. It might help if you use the correct product for the application.

 

 

Dawn is just the first step. It strips the grease. There are other things on your car besides grease, such as really thick grease known as tar. Sometimes this tar will have grit in it, so you need to disolve it rather than scrape it off which means a soak. Soak a towel with water and dawn and let it sit on a trouble spot for about 15 minutes.

It is possible that the stuff on your car doesn't respond to water as a solvent.
Next step, get some 3M wax remover and paint prep. This won't hurt your paint, it is designed to get you to the paint surface so new paint will stick.

On the windshield, you might try a razor blade, like cleaning windows after painting them. Don't hurt yourself, just test to see the extent of your problem.

It can be clay barred, too but it pays to get it as clean as possible before clay. Has your car ever been clayed?

I use a super soft boars hair brush to wash my cars. The only scratches/swirls my car has in it, it had when it came from the factory.

There is vinegar to remove dirty water scale. Baking soda for wheels and brakes. Chemistry is your friend.

Get a jewelers loupe and look at the surface.

 

Wow dude, what is your problem? Dishwashing liquid is commonly used before claying and waxing to take off the old layer of wax. The OP clearly said he used that to prep before applying Zaino. Sounds like a good claying should fix the problem. Hopefully it's just stubborn tree sap or road tar.

 

Perhaps the coffee was too strong at dmkozaks household this morning. :-)

 

Like Callaway stated, you are in dire need of a good claying to remove all the surface contamination.

 

trust me ,, i knew that

 

LOL I thought the same thing back in the days when I heard people use Dishwashing Soap, but its a common thing, its tough enough to eat through the wax, but not go thru the Clear Coat, it is commonly used by Many Pro Detailers Prior to a Full WAX

 

finally did it,, clayed the whole car and its smotth as silK!! ,, heheh thank you all guys for the help

 

now get some sealant on there

 

Good stuff. Claying is a vital step before properly detailing your G. What clay did you use?

 

clay,, zaino ,, hmm i dont think it doesnt even matter what clay you use, i mean clay is clay right,, yeah ,, i got to admit , when i first washed my car,, thinking that it was new,, i skipped clayin it ,, then all of a sudden my paint and mirrors are like sandpaper(literally) in texturE!

LESSON LEARNED: CLAY is you FRIEND
