Wax water spots and tiny flower looking bugs?

If the speckles appeared after the car sat outside, they could be pollen, tiny plant debris, or insects settling on the freshly washed surface. The water spots could be dried droplets left after the wash. That doesn’t necessarily mean the wax or paint is damaged.

For now, avoid rubbing or scraping the specks off while dry. With the paint cool and in the shade, gently rinse the area, wash with automotive shampoo, and dry with a clean microfiber towel.

Could you upload a close-up of the flower-looking specks? Also, do they move on their own, or are they stuck to the paint? That will help us narrow down what you’re seeing.

I had went back to the car wash and it’s all clean now, I honestly think that the speckles and bugs on the car were somehow drawn to the chemicals used in the ultimate car wash to give the car shine. I noticed when doing basic washes with pure finish this doesn’t happen.

Yep, this does happen.

Update I noticed these gnat like bugs called midgeees dead on the roof of my car I dust them off lightly with a microfiber. Will dry microfiber cloth scratch paint if trying to dust off bugs and pollen with super light sweeping motion?

Maybe a little bit, I would use soap and water an then dry to make sure the paint stays in good shape.
