White Spots on my front bumper
Hey all, i was cleaning my 8 and i noticed i had some white spots only on my front bumper and on the front part of the hood up to maybe 5 inches after the mazda emblem, and i was wondering how i can get that stuff off. It's just that front bumper with the white marks on it. I don't think its water marks because usually they look like white circles maybe its that maybe its something else idk. If anyone has any suggestions oh how to clean it off id greatly appreciate it.

this alone should tell you its rock chips. a clear bra is usually applied to the entire front bumper, a small strip at the leading side of the hood, and the small frontal area of the fender. if you drive a lot of freeway, it's inevitable.
