[Hmmm2]

I have some free-form milky marks on the left air intake vent/box on the H3. The car wash told me they look like water marks in the paint. They weren't there when I picked up the H3, but had appeard maybe about 4-5 months later. I also have a few white circles on the black strip that goes up along the front window (A pillar). I asked the dealer about buffing out the water (?) marks and asked if they knew what the white circles (discolored circle) were? I vaguely remember driving through something that sprayed up ... maybe washed down concrete water from around a new home being built. It stayed on the vinyl strip. The water mark had been on the air intake box prior to that. The service manager told me it was acid in bird poop. I told him I keep the H3 washed ALL of the time and have never had bird poop on it. He insisted. Yet when you feel the paint on it, you can't feel anything. It's smooth. I think it's a defect in the paint on that box and want it replaced. Anyone know what that could be? (It's not from bird poop.) Also, any thoughts on how to get those discoloration marks/cicles off the vinyl A pillar strip? Thanks.
