Looks like highway mileage damage. Only 120 miles has me stumped.

It's under the clear. It's not real noticeable unless the light hits at a few different angles. I just finished polishing it and coating it with Angel Polinsh Invincibile and Cosmic. I was carrying a light around the car checking for residue and noticed it.

My bumpers look similar under certain angles in light. Probably because the bumpers are a different material, plastic.

Wondering if anyone has ever seen anything like this??
120 miles on the car. This is not a reflection...this is actually in the paint. Not really noticeable until you shine light directly at it.
They didn't put enough color under the clear. I'd take it back and have them repaint.

My 2010 the doors looked like they were a different color. Obviously there was some kind of difference in the painting process. The heavy metal flake/metallic reflects the light differently. This spot is actually on the fender. I didn't get real good pictures.
I went out and looked again and kind of thought that area just got a light dust of base coat in that spot. 7paintguns told me the same thing so I'm pretty sure that's what this is.
I assume the paint on your car has more of a metal flake than metallic? I don't know if it's a difference in the angle these parts are sprayed at. Really that's the only reason I can see the light being reflected differently.
