Dull spot in paint

Anyone know what this is or what caused it. It is very dull feeling. I’m getting ready to clay bar and wax and noticed I’m unable to wash it off. There is another spot with the same issue. Never go through car washes. Hand wash only. Never been waxed or anything of that nature yet.

 

Looks like the leading edge of someone's white door caught it.

 

Very odd. Can you scratch it off with your nail? It looks like something on it to me, but I can't tell.

 

No can not scratch off. Tried bug and tar as well. Door ding almost seems most applicable so far can’t believe I didn’t think of that. The two spots that they are in are exactly the place susceptible to that.

 

If it is a door, it's paint on top if your clear, so it will be able to be removed, assuming no dent or scratch. Might be a job for a pro if you don't have any experience.

 

Clay bar it?

 

Looks like someone opened their door into it, should be able to buff that out.

 

I see. Would any one recommend using a compound vs clay bar. I was planning on clay baring and then waxing in a couple of days

 

I have the same thing on my driver side but only about a half an inch. First time taking the Taco out to a vacation resort. First morning I woke up and came back to it.

 

I use these, FWIW. http://www.doorshox.com/

 

Someone smashed into my mustang as a teenager, my father used goo gone and it removed the other vehicles paint. I swear it was witchcraft.

 

Use a clay bar first. Make sure you keep it wet with spray wax/detailer. Then buff it with maguires 205. Then wax with whatever you like.

 

I’ll give it a go and see how it goes. Thanks for all the info so far!

 

I was gonna suggest 105 and 205 too, lol

 

thats definitely other paint left behind. yep

 

That’s the best stuff. Just gotta be careful with it then wax like a mutha afterwards!

 

Yup, try claying it first then any light polish should take it off.

 

Mother's Plastic Polish works well for finishing.

 

I have up on clay, try a nanoskin pad. works better with no micromaring
