Whats Wrong with my paint
I just bought a Brand new Acura TL Type S 2003 last week. When I waxed my car , I noticed some weird things on my hood. I looked at my hood and I noticed smudges. I'm not sure if it;'s my eyes or something is wrong with my paint .I moved the car to the sun , and it was gone.. Is there something wrong with my paint ???

You really should never wax a brand new car until it at least 6 months after it's build date. The paint hasn't had the chance to cure yet. Not only did my dealership tell me this but so have various body shops. Not to say that this is why you have those spots, just some advice. If you can't get the spots out try taking it to a good detail shop, they should be able to do something.

I used 3m Liguid wax. When I bought my first two cars , the dealer waxed the car . I would think you should wax the car since the summer is coming to protect the paint

On a commercial repaint (like a body shop fixing a ding), I would wait 60 days, tops. The volatiles in the paint will have leached out by then so that any chance of paint problems will be zero. Certainly, exposure to summer extremes is riskier than not doing it.
