I noticed this when I was picking up the car and it was freshly washed. It was on both sides of the headlights, the parking light area. I was told it's normal.

Yes and it only happens in a car wash or if your are using a pressure washer. I hand wash and its never happened again. Mercedes all do this I'd there's too much water, whereas Lexus and others would never so this. Germans sometimes over engineer stuff.
