Weird paint issues

[Rishi3]

Paint was like this so I thought I would wash it, turns out that didn't help at all? Could this be sun damage or something else? Anyone know how I could get it out?

Looks like waterspots to me. Or I would say more than just spots.

A good buff would help.

It is hard to tell what it is on the paint. I would give it a step-by-step approach going up in aggressiveness until you figure out what works. If you have already washed it, try cleaning it with full strength (undiluted) SuperClean Degreaser or really any degreaser will work. Give the degreaser a couple minutes to sit on the area before you clean it, and make sure it is rinsed well afterwards. If that doesn't cut it, I would first try to clay the vehicle. I would go ahead and do the whole vehicle if it was me, but you could just focus on that spot. If that doesn't work, I would move on to a polish. If you have a DA polisher, I would use a foam polishing pad to see if that takes care of it. If not, polish with a microfiber applicator. I use Meguiar's Ultimate Polish on mine and my client's vehicles, and I really like it. If that doesn't work, I would move on to Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. Don't worry, this is a very mild compound, and in my experience, it doesn't usually even leave much of a haze. If using a DA polisher, I might try it with the polishing pad first and then move to a cutting pad if that doesn't clear it up. If you're going by hand, go ahead and grab a Terry cloth and get prepared for some serious elbow grease. I have used this stuff by hand. It works well, but it takes a lot of work to get the desired effect. If that still won't remove it, which I highly doubt will be the case, you might need to step up to a slightly more aggressive compound. In doing so, remember the 5 foot rule. On difficult imperfections that require aggressive treatments to fix, don't keep working and working on an imperfection that can't be seen from 5 feet away. You'll end up doing more damage to the clear coat and risk having a portion of your paint look slightly different than the rest. After compounding, remember to follow it back up with either the less aggressive compound and then the polish or just the polish depending on how far you took it.
