I'd get at least a paste type wax (like Meguires). All kinds of stuff penetrate the paint if it is not beading water. If nothing else, paste wax just the hood. I always drive my vehicle around the block after washing to blow off the beaded water.

yes u and i think same. actually at this moment just go off YouTube and Walmart and decided to go with McGuires paste wax.

Still wish those white tiny spots weren't on hood. but it is what it is.

Thought about pursuing dealer to take pics at the advice of one of their techs and send it to Ford because there is occasionally contamination at the factory when spraying cars that appear later according to research.

I just see those white spots popping up more. need to concentrate of a space about 2x2 and see if spots appear for tomorrow or next day that weren't there before.

Final question: If ford agrees to give new hood and paint it for free or a nice customer discount maybe 300 bucks for my cost; would the dealer then bring this information to CARFAX, as a "minor body paint issue"?

If so don't know how much this would influence future buyer to go away from my truck vs. a better looking hood. Some people say they don't see marks much.

So much misinformation about CarFax. Independent body and paint shops DO NOT HAVE to report to CarFax...lady backed into me last year and I told my body shop I did not want it reported to CarFax...and their response was it was so minor they would not have reported it anyway. My Ford Dealer has 5 Ford Dealerships in 2 states and they farm out all their body and paint repairs to independent shops. Dealers are going to charge a big markup for paint work and probably farm it out to their own independent shop. I'd be shocked if Ford agreed to pay for paint repair.

If I were you, I'd get any cheap rubbing compound...and apply it briskly with soft cloth and FINGER TIPS on the white spots....buff off rubbing compound then apply Mequires the same way and buff off with micro-fiber cloth.

If you didn't catch it....one of the main purposes of "clay bar" is to remove the thin abrasions and "car wax" on the outer paint surface...so new wax or Ceramic Coating sticks to the paint better.

I already took it to dealer and they couldn't identify what the small white solid circles were. They tried sanding it with 1500 grade paper and after buffing. The white solid circles were there.
