Even under the Basic Coverage (commonly known as Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty), Toyota won't claim responsibilty for your problem. It sounds like by forces out of your control, your car was exposed to some foreign corrosive matter, which Toyota would deem is your responsibity to get it fixed. You would have a better chance of getting your car insurance company to cover it.
Also, you say you detailed your car (or had someone detail it), I would think that whatever wax/sealant that was appied would have protected your paint against such damage. When I bought my Camry, knowing full well that the cleaning and "waxing" the dealer does for the delivery has next to NO protection for your paint, I put a couple coats of my own wax/sealant on. I recommend Collinite 476S Super Doublecoat Wax. Apply one coat, then on the following day add one more coat. Not only will car have "SUPER" protection from the elements, but the beading properties of this wax is incredible and its durability is among the better on the market.

Unless people have money to burn, "buying" a car is an investment and you gotta take care of it. Technically, the bank owns it until you send in that last payment assuming everyone finances their vehicles.
