What to add to wash routine to get rid of this yellow pollen/sap residue?


JenovaImproved

Question

I have a Tesla 3 with Adam's Advanced Ceramic Coating on it, coating 1 year old, 2 layers just to make sure i didnt miss a spot. I did a foam cannon coating of Strip Wash, aggressive powerwash rinse, sprayed Iron remover than powerwashed it off again, aggressive hand wash with Graphene Shampoo and edgeless microfiber towels, and I still have these yellow pollen spots on it I have to scrap off with a fingernail. 

 

What can I add/change to make these come off during the regular wash steps? I was hoping that with a ceramic coat I would merely have to powerwash biweekly but even a full double step wash isn't taking stuff off. 

 

I will add that it seems like the ceramic barely works anymore on the sky facing panels and especially the glass, I'm wondering if the heat of the sun is burning it off. The side panels bead up amazingly well and the roof doesn't at all anymore. It will sheet off eventually but not those big lumps like ceramic is supposed to. I have a UV flashlight to check the coating but something about the red tesla 3 paint makes it not glow well, i can see the headlights glow super good but then the paint right next to them i coated at the same time doesn't glow at all - but beads up like it should.

I know is has been a while since you asked this question, but one way to remove them is with a thick hand sanitizer.  It is the alcohol that helps remove the sap, and the gel helps it stay in place.  Rub the hand sanitizer on the sap, then let it for a few minutes, and try removing with you finger nail.  

It they are very old you may have remove them carefully with a plastic razor blade.
