probably some sort of contaminate on the clear, you will need to clay bar the car or use some kind of bug and tar remover.

it is most likely from train brake dust from a rail road track, or u were the first one in line ata crossing and as the train went buy it got all over ur car. but to take it off u can use clay, or if it came to my shop wipe it off with laquer thinner then buffer over it. a[ply thinner to rag, wipe, then dry off, buff

oh i forgot i own my own shop, forgot to add that. and all shops do this on old paint. i will never touch new paint with it because it will mess it up. but old paint is cured and age hardend. the thinner will not eat into it, but cause a dulling to the clear that is why we buff it back to new after we get off what we need to. i just did this to an entire truck at my shop that had tar all down the sides of it. 2 hours and 200 dollars later boom new truck again and perfect paint. and if u want to call my shop the name is butler auto body call and ask for dravesef i be sure to help u with any auto body work.
