Default Sumthing goin on with the paint..Help!

I recently noticed these very small white outlines miss shaped circles on the passenger door and haven't used anything chemical wise whatsoever to cause it..does it look like a form of oxidation or what? And what can i try to get rid of it? Any replies are appreciated, Thanks

at first glance I would think your clearcoat is peeling, but if that was the case I don't think you would need to come to a web forum to figure that out.

Throwing that idea out...maybe hardwater spots? How's the water quality where you live? How big are these, and what do they feel like?

the water is fine over here, the left circle, vertically is the length of your lil finger and right one about the length of your middle, pretty much actual size as pictured..cant feel any ridges what so ever with fingertip or nail

hardwater spots dont always get caused from the tap water or drain water...it often is caused from rain

try a claybar first followed by a polish. If that does not work, then you may want to contact a professional detailer for their advice

clay bar it and then polish like he said.....then wax, if the wax fills it in then the clear is etched. Could be bird crap that ate the paint during the summer. I have a spot on the rear hatch from the previous owner...pro detail shop couldnt buff it out.
