Possible paint issue? Red supra

[KillxPoint]

Just washed my car and noticed these blemishes on different parts of the car. Any input on this?

After washing it, try some meguiars wax to see if it will come out.

Could be hard mineral dry spots.

Wax is for protection and wont do anything for that.
You can try a cleaner wax. It has a slight abrasive and may be enough to work.
Otherwise, use polish or compound but keep in mind, compound is more abrassive.
If compound is necessary, follow up with polish to get rid of compound haze. Wax when done.

Think of these products as liquid sandpaper with varying degree of abrasiveness.

I know the dealer said they put Cilajet jet on the car not sure what kind of protection that is and if thats what im seeing.

I saw something about this, probably elsewhere on the forum, but maybe youtube.

You're supposed to use heat, like a hair dryer, to correct them.

Edit: Found the video, you have the same problem. He's on this forum, but I forget the user name, sorry!

Looks like bird crap etching. I would try some clay, but probably go straight to fine polish like ScratchX on a foam pad to see if that comes out. GL

I'm not sure it's a paint issue but maybe hard water stains or anything that could have sat on the paint.

Lol the service department is a different location from where i bought my car from so i dont think they would replace my car. Plus i got the extended warranty for 7y or 100k miles for free since all the troubles my car has caused. At this point im just wanting them to note about the paint for the future so im covered.

The paint issue alone seems like one that may trigger lemon law, i.e. they'll try to fix it a few times and won't be successful. Decent chance you end up in a new ride.

For sure do what you think feels right, but I think you're closing in on a situation where the troubles you've had make you eligible for consumer protections.
