Default Clearcoat Paint Issue



I noticed a couple yellowish spots on my driver and passenger side door. Anybody would know what's the cause and if it is covered under warranty.

I usually just wash my car at home with proper soap and water. Twice a year, I will take it to a shop to get it waxed.

Let me know if anybody has any idea what is it. Much Appreciated.

you bought your car new? obviously no repair in that area? then yes there's a problem. take it in if you have warranty left.

They'll run a depth gauge to check consistency with the rest of the panels, determine if repainted. The orange peel on the door looks like it's stock so yeah that's odd. What year is your car?

Hard to tell if it's clear coat or under. but either way, outside of any extraordinary circumstances or accidents, that's not normal. I do see some streaks/lines going down below that. whats that?
