Massive Black Dot Problem

I've got a white SL-2 with tons of black dots all over it - I thought
tree sap; my mechanic thinks bug juice from gypsy moths last year.
Our cars are parked under trees outside our house, and there is no way
not to have them under trees where we are.

We've researched and tried many products (well, my husband has).
Nothing he's tried has worked - perhaps one has, but it stripped the
paint in the process.

The mechanic, who isn't a talkative sort, referred to a product he
called "Aquasol." I believe that's what he said and how he spelled
it. He qualified: be very careful of the fumes; it's potent. My
husband doesn't seem to see this product, and he's quite proficient at
finding things. Anyone know what this might be? Or recommend
something else?

Our cars are in horrid states. He began picking at these dots one at
a time - imposssible, clearly. My husband says he'd like to get them
off once and for all, then put a good coat of wax on and take care not
to let it get this far again. (He's got a little silver Mazda in the
same situation.)

Any advice???

Thanks,
Jenny

My first thought was a clay bar, then I googled "clay bar sap" and came up
with some other interesting possibilities. You might check them out.

We use Aqasol on allot of spots at my dealership but you have to get it from
a commercial cleaning company supplier. You might go to a dealership and see
if they would sale it to you.

Try clay magic or a similar, the stuff is amazing. I've used it for years,
and it takes off everything. Rusted brake dust, sap, bird crap, paint
scrapes from other cars, tar, and paint overspray, to name a few.

Can you tell me how to spell "Aquasol"? We can't find it, and keep
looking.

clay bar: be says he's tried this, and didn't work.
I did the Google search another poster recommended "clay bar & sap."
my husband looked at the results and either all were clay bar type
products he's tried or other types of things he's tried.

Yes, we can open a store about now.

Try Maquires or Mothers clay bar that shoud get most of the spots off. Once
clean, wash with maguires Gold, then wax with maguires Gold Class wax (no, I
work for neither, I just love thier products) then seal your paint with
Dupont Teflon spray wax.

If you are unable to park anywhere else, also consider a car cover. The
Teflon will stop anything from sticking to your paint, just wipe stuff off.

after that, just wash the car with the gold class then spray the Dupont
Teflon on with the car still wet, wipe and let dry then buff to a shine.
Youj can get these products from any autpo parts store and they are
inexpensive.

Cheers!

I hope I'm not being annoying, but this was John's response when I
emailed him the suggestion:

>I have a similar product by made by a different company. It only work for taking off the residue left after I scraped
the big dot off.<

Thank you! ~ I hadn't seen this... I forwarded it to him.

Its worth a shot anyways. I have had good luck with all of the affore
mentioned products. At last resort, if those trees are indiginous why not
stop by a local Saturn dealership and speak with a professional detailer?
