What Is This On My Paint?

[CLNSKY]

Hey guys, had this issue with my car for a while but thought it would wash off.

These pics where taken straight after a wash today.

It looks like white marks, that can't be rubbed off with soap / my spray on wax. Seems to have been getting worse lately.

Any ideas what it could be ?

Do i just need to give it a good polish?

Cheers

Try claybar > polish > wax

its oxidation. polish time!

Actually, I think those red rings might need a bit of Photoshop to remove...

But yeah; I'm going with oxidation. Time for some love.

Recently imported ? then it's Nuke fallout !!!

looks like what you get when cars in a build/tune shop for a long time.

Fuel/Oil grime residue.

As above will polish off easily.

Maybe try prepsol first if it is fuel deposit

don't wax it if the marks havent gone after polishing...make sure they are completely gone...if they are not you will need to get a buffer onto it..

contrary to popular belief wax will not really mask paint problems...so make sure its right or you will just be stripping the wax off later to fix it again...
