    a while back after i removed the bra( wont make that mistake again) from my truck after only a short time moisture got trapped under the paint, and made a "cloud" type apperance under it. naturally i wigged out, did everything i could think of to remove it and to no avail...the 1st warm dry day it almost went away, just a small spot remains. i come out to my truck today and see it again, but all down the upper middle part of door frame!!! its got to be a reaction to sudden temp and humidity changes and hopefully will go away in time. is anyone else with a 2nd gen experiencing this too? its very unnerving seeing how i take pride in keeping her clean, waxed and presentable. is there an issue with the sealer toyota used, and a product to help seal the moisture out better? having a new paint job is a ways off until i get my project house renovated.

    I had an 06 DCSB and an old lady backed into me and smashed in the doors. My rear door was replaced and the front was repaired and obviously repainted. After waiting about 2 months, I put my magnetic sign for work back on the door. I removed it at least once a week, I kept the door clean, and I waxed it often. After a fairly short period of time, I got a haze looking mark right under where the magnetic sign went. I polished, waxed, rubbed, and washed ... Nothing could ever completely remove that mark. Even after not using the sign anymore, 1.5 years later, you could still see where it was if you looked for it.

    My truck was super white, not sure what yours is.
