W222
Mysteriously white spots appearing in paint.

Greetings,

These white spots mysteriously appeared in the paint of my w222. They are actually stuck in the paint, not something on the surface that i can wipe off. Already tried washing the affected area and then buffing it with some liquid car wax, but the spots remains.

Does anyone know what causes these spots and is there anyway remove them without getting a repaint?

Thanks for reading

look like water spots gone mad..
an you feel the edges of it with your fingernail? or put finger in plastic baggie and rub across edges..... BAggie enahancs sense of touch.

If no edge then could be water spot or under clear coat.
IIF has edge then clear coat peeled off.

Car ever wrecked? or repainted?

This needs to be looked at by detailer and body shop paint guru to get 2 opinions on what it is

good luck

It’s the top coat peeling. Happened to me on a brand new s class. Warranty fix.

Probably the right answer. The only other thing it could be is overspray from a Krylon paint job on something nearby. Looks like the car will need to be repainted.
