Today was the big day for me.. Or it should have been. Inside the showroom everthing looked great but when I came home I noticed this issues!! I drove back to my dealer and claimed it. I had to leave the car there and tomorrow it gets inspected and reviewed by Honda Switzerland. I am very dissapointed how the could hand out the car in this condition! They also told me it is a 2018 production number but why is then the badge number that low?! Those stains are all over the car, also in the glas!! It looks like a chemical got into the clearcoat and the glass. On the black parts its easy to see but it is also on the front windshield and on the hood and roof but harder to see tue the metallic paint.

Get it polished/compounded and you'll be golden. But don't let dealership do that

Yap! I would try this but keep in mind that the clear coat is super soft!

Some would probably come out with a buff but some looks pretty deep. It's just on the top surfaces so it would seem to be something from a tree?
