Just to be sure, you have properly polished the car? They aren't water spots are they?

If it is peeled clear coat you need a re-spray if you are bothered about it.

It might be worth getting it polished with some compound, but in those pictures it does look like the clear coat has peeled off if it is not water spots. If it was faded paint or matted paint then it would be uniformly distrubuted across the panel.

Oh, I just realised I could zoom into that picture. Before you worry about anything, try cleaning the spots off. I take it you cleaned the car on a hot day? They do look a lot like water spots which are a bitch to get off.
