I have a a few marks that look as though they are burn marks, but I don't think they are. They are each about the diamater of a small pill.



In sunlight they reflect a purplish/bluish color, the car is black.



I just took a few pictures, maybe someoen can help me out.



both pics taken from the hood.

Has the hood ever been repainted? Those look kinda milky and deep in the paint (correct me if wrong - I hate judging pics :p). The last time I saw spots that looked like that was on my friend's car with a half-donkeyed repaint job. It didn't show up for a while (he bought it used), and there's no way to fix it other than a (re)repaint.
 
I hate to say this, but just because it is a 3 month old car doesn't mean it hasn't had paint work done. I worked at a Ford dealership this summer and I saw "new" cars get paint work done to them and then be put out on the lot and sold as "new." I saw a new Escape come in with a damaged roof from the truck it was shipped on. We mudded up the roof, painted it, and put it on the lot with a "new car" sticker on the window :scared I'd say if it's a 3 month old car, take it back and make them take care of it.

yhea, that is pretty common. When a panel is damaged, then they'll get it repainted instead of having to send it back to the factory.
 
thanks guys. i don't think these were there however when i took delivery of it.



on another note, going over the car very closely, it looks like i am finding more of these (much smaller, and not as bad) on other parts of the car.



could anyhing i have done cuased this? i have tkaen it to get car wash a few times, also besides that i have washed/waxed it myself also.



nothing else however.
 
I don't k now what the problem is, but does one think since these are just starting to show up about 3 months from when I took delivery that it could have been a problem with the car itself, and not maybe something I did or something else?

I don't think it's necessarily somehting you did....especially if you're starting to see this elsewhere on the car too... I would immediately call this to your dealer's attention.
 
Ok, I have an oil change schudled this week there. I will tell them when I drop it off that I think something might be wrong with the paint...



Of course if they do find a problem, that might be bad too. It could mean they might have to repaint, which is something I would not want to do on a 3 month old vechile.
