I will try to take a picture of the spots this weekend. If they will show on the camera.

The spoting is not from hard water. At my home I have a desinated water spiqot that is hooked up to my water softner. Then I have the filtered water sprayer and the car is only washed in the afternoon in the shade. I have had mineral deposits from hard water before and those I can handle and remove. The only time I have seen something like this before is when I had a car repainted with a Glaserat clearcoat and when bird poop would sit on it for more than one hour it would etch itself into the clearcoat. The only thing that would remove it with that car was the 3m rubbing compound.

I use a professional orbital and never get swirls. The rubbing compound really only works with a orbital. The Toyota detail shop tried it as well and could only fix it as well as I did. But the etching is still slightly visable. So that is why the Toyota rep will be coming to take a look at it. Every 07' Camrys paint must be F'd up in Chicago.
