Hey guys, I need some help trying to fix the paint on my car. I bought a used(pretty much new) 2016 Nissan Frontier SV 4x4 about a month ago. Upon purchasing the car Inspected it carefully and did not notice these spots on the car, but after washing it yesterday I did. It appears as if there are oil/grease spots on the paint even after washing it vigorously. I plan on doing a full detail tomorrow to get it out (wash, clay, wash, swirlx, polish, wax) to HOPEFULLY remove these spots. If this doesn't work, I will be returning to the dealer. Can anybody enlighten me on what these spots are? Thanks!

Re: What are these mysterious spots and how to remove them?
Really tough to tell in the picture exactly what these are, do they appear to be sitting on the surface of the paint? I'm assuming they do not smear around when you are wiping? Any chance you can take pictures in the shade and then shine bright light directly on them? This may help us to evaluate.Nick Winn

They do smear around when I wipe them. I will take some pictures when I get home(I snapped these quickly before work). It seems as if it's oily or greasy and can feel it on the surface.Comment

Re: What are these mysterious spots and how to remove them?
I am not sure if you have figured out your smearing marks on your truck yet, but it looks like it may be dressing sling. If you recently washed your truck and applied a thick coating of tire dressing it will often times sling onto the side of your truck. Maybe trying using some FD and a microfiber to remove it. Diluted AP will work too, but it will strip your wax coat. After its off make sure you apply some wax protection.
