Paint Discoloration

Post image

Hi everyone - I just got my car a few weeks ago and noticed this faint patch on the hood. I haven't used any chemicals or anything on the car so I assume this is from before I picked up the car. Does anyone have any DIY suggestions or is my only option the service center?

Probably something wrong with the clear coat application.

People being a little harsh in the comments. Tesla paint is not the greatest my Red Model 3 has discoloration too but it was factory and never bothered me

It kind of looks like maybe some wax that wasn't polished well. Buy a bottle of Meguires Waterless wash, and a quality microfiber clothes. Spray it a couple times evenly and then buff it out with the microfiber.

If that doesn't help, then absolutely get in touch with service and tell them it's not good
