I bought my 2006 Acura RSX about a year ago. When I bought it from the dealership, I looked it over and didn't notice any major paint defects, but shortly after I noticed these spots on the car. It seems to be mostly on the front end but there is one spot on the driver's door, trunk, and passenger fender. I don't know what they are, and why they look the way they do. I did also notice small spots of white paint on my tail lights so I am thinking maybe the car had white paint splash up on it and it wasn't repaired correctly by the previous owner.

I am attaching some photos, look hard tell me what you all think.

My main burning question is how do I properly fix it.

Thanks a lot

 

First, wash the surrounding area with water and dish soap to remove the wax. Then, follow up with some polishing compound on a microfiber cloth. Rub it on until you don't see it anymore. If that doesn't work, switch to rubbing compound. If that doesn't work, try wetsanding with 2000 grit sandpaper lightly on the spots. Go lower in grit if it has no effect on the white spots, but definately don't use anything under 1000 grit. That is, if it even takes that much.

Don't put much elbow grease onto it when wetsanding, let the paper do the work.

After you find what works for you and you remove the paint spots, reverse all of the steps i told you starting with the one before the successful one. You should end with rubbing and polishing compound on a random orbital buffer. Wax, and you're done. If you don't have a buffer, get one!!! It has been the best purchase, appearance-wise, for my car. It also brings out the best shine in a paintjob.
