OMG the yellow dots!!!! I didn't have this problem in Jersey but here in San Diego I have to wash my car AT LEAST once a week mostly because of the crazy amount of yellow dots as well as a nice coating of more spread out yellow dust over the whole car. Damn SoCal!! I do park near a tree and I do live about 10 miles from the airport.. so I can't help narrow it down either..

okay, so my dad says the yellow dots are bee poop. i did a little research and it might actually be bee droppings. he reads a lot and says he read it in a magazine. could be wrong but it's something we can look up. i'm gonna go with it until someone tells me otherwise

my guess is that your car is too shiny, thats why birds retaliate when they get blinded from your car, and doo doo all over it. evil birds.

My favorite is when you wash your car until its spotless, and you go out an hour later and theres a nice big fresh splattered one in the middle of your hood. It's like they sit in the trees and watch you and wait for the perfect moment. Bastards.

Funny. I remember seeing those Ka commercials in the UK. Retarded looking car though.
