Founds this while waxing my truck. It's on the drivers door looks like popped bubbles in the clear coat or some sort of drips. Any suggestions on how to fix myself or do you think a professional would be a better route. I would like to take care of it before it gets any worse. It's on my 2014 screw with the sterling gray metallic. EDIT: for some reason this pictures are not showing. I'll post them again as soon as I figure it out.

The dealer I have been using has been great, except that they don't have their own body shop , so the body shop they use is terrible I'd rather pay someone I can trust. I'm just not sure what all needs to be done to it. Maybe a buff, maybe not.

Can you feel any "edge" to the marks with a fingernail? It appears on my computer like the clearcoat is chipped.

Yes it feels like a hole in clear coat. I would just hate water to get under clear coat and peel in the future. Who know I probably won't even keep the ruck long enough to even worry. Lol

Maybe I will give it a shot. I never used a buffer, that's my only issue. Maybe I'll practice on my trailer.

Then I'd take it to a shop and have them repair it. It'd kill me to have spots like that. Wet sanding and buffing ain't a gonna fix it.
