So in my new place of residence I’m forced to park under a tree and for the last month it hasn’t been too much of a problem. I washed my car at least once a week but for the last couple of weeks I have neglected it. Just this past weekend I took my car to the car wash, once cleaned it reveled that the leaves, sap and bird **** have done horrible things to the paint. In places it looks like bleeding rust and permanent imprints of leaves. What now?? For one I’m going to have to get a car cover (oh one thing I forgot to say my car sits in the driveway most of thee week and mostly gets used on the weekend) but what products and techniques can I use to my paint back

maybe it just needs some wax and TLC

Mybe but I thought wax was for basically sealing and not getting out theses imperfections. I know there’s a lot of products out on the market; rubbing compounds, clay etc. that come before waxing that my help to get this imbedded stuff? I agree though my car needs some TLC and 1inch thick layer of wax

go and get some turtle wax rubbing compound.....do the whole car in that and scrub it clean, then wax it all and ull b good to go.
