Anyone want to take a guess what these little stains are in the hood of this car?

They've been there a long time.

That looks like ash kind of. I used to get similar stains when we set off a bunch of fireworks, but I never left them on long enough to stain.

Sorry man, I like to go crazy on cars while having sex, your hood just happened to be perfect for it

Edit: Did you try to use an industrial buffer for that? Might help

Does it have pitting? If you live in Phospate area (riverview/gibsonton), it's acid from the phospate plants.
