    Unknown Dots in paint

    Hey guys i traded in my 2012 TL for a 2013 GS350 the GS has 9000 miles on it i knew going into it that i would have to do a full detail no problem. Because of work and school i haven't had time to go over the car with a fine tooth comb until today, thats when i noticed these little light specks? i don't know what they are but before i get to detailing it this week i just want to know what you guys think, Thanks in advance

    By the way these little specks are all over the hood a few on the trunk and a few on the side panels

    They look like water spots. If so, they should be easy enough to remove with a decent polish. If they are deeply etched (don't look like it) - removing may be more involved.

    Hard to say. Is possible that a repaint was done for one reason or another and contaminents got into the color or clear. I'm hoping that it is just water spots though! :-)
