On lower portion of the side skirt washed it and clay barred it...no bueno.
I think it pollen looks like I ran over some flowers and the tire kicked it up.

What should I try next?

If you have time swing by your local paint and body shop. I have found that they always have and are even sometimes willing to give a sample and demonstration on proper technique for use of the product of their choice. My wife had a long ugly scuff on the side of her vehicle and I took it to a random shop, Wisdom paint and body in Mesquite, and the guy hooked me up for zero dollars. Just a suggestion for those stubborn wash issues.

Might need to resort to something a bit more aggressive like a polishing compound.

Id start ith least aggressive way first and work my way up to the rougher shit.

^^ Good plan. I'm actually very surprised clay bar didn't get it.

Iam as well unless its oil based or something like that. Id try some Bug and tar remover, then Goo gone, the move into some compounds with a gd pad.

That looks lik a scuff. May have to try and med/hard compound then if all else fails 3000 grit sandpaper, compund, polish, wax.
