Every other time after a car wash, i get these spots from the trees and its getting kinda anoying now.  
  
 I used once a claybar with a detailer spray and it came off and i applied wax on the paint again and it worked for 2 weeks.  
  
 How can i seal the paint so that i do not have the pain anymore. Or is this normal on paint. The car is 9 years old.

You mentioned “Wax”…Did you mean real paste wax, or some liquid polish? Another idea. Don’t park under leaky trees…

i did use liquid wax, since the salesman said that there is no difference. Price wise it was the same.  
No chance to park not under a tree here were i live. There are everywhere.
