Would they appear under the clear coat? And only for one panel and not the next (like in the pic)?

They don't polish out. I tried to polish them out on a small section of the car. They didn't go out until I went through the clear coat and burned the paint (had to have that part re-painted).

If your run your fingernail across them can you feel any pitting?

Sounds like those spots are under the clear, meaning under warranty there should be something Nissan can do for you. Factory defects like those should be covered by the dealer you purchased from, but i would research their history of body and paintwork first. The polish you use is one of the polishes in my arsenal, did you inspect the paint before purchasing? I ordered mine and made sure no one touched her.

I bought it second hand. But since the spots only appear in the winter, I could not have noticed.
