Default Paint finish question`???

Wondering if any other ES350 owners have noticed spots on the paint (or chips) around the gas filler door? I noticed 3 orange colored specks (slightly larger than a pin head) in a triangular formation just forward of and below the fuel filler door of my '08. Had to use polishing compound to remove them. Recently saw an '07 ES with touch up paint in a couple of spots around the fuel filler door as well. :uh

Lexus paints are very soft. A brush up against many things can cause this. perhaps you got the spots while filling up.
