It appears to be 3 seperate strips that look like glue from the back of electrical tape or the protective covering from shipping the car. It is under the clear!!!

I know that nothing occured on the dealer lot, as I removed the white protective tape when I 1st test drove the car. An orbital wouldn't take it out.

Went back to the dealer and showed the Sales Manager who seemed a bit perplexed. He offered to swap the door with another Magnetic Black Z he has on the lot, but I don't know if that is a smart thing to do. I would hate to have to respay the door as the car is brand new.

Plus, the dealer prep guys put on the front license plate bracket and drilled into the bumper

What should I do????

I also noticed my 1st tiny chip on the lower front bumber by the intake cutouts.
I had the same marks on my rear panels. However, mine polished out with a non cutting polish. It turned out to just be the glue residue from the protective tape.
