That could be a lot of things, even acid rain damage. You may have to just live with it.

If you can find a small spot on the surface of the car. Use some paint cleaner on the spot to get the wax off or even some wax remover. Then hit that small spot with some diluted vinegar. They might be hard water spots, and the vinegar is a weak acid which might get rid of them. Give that a try. It should not hurt the paint at all and will still take lot of elbow grease.

The best way to eliminate hard water sports or acid rain spots is through prevention. Maintaining a good coat of wax is the best defence.

BTW, my car is 5 years old and have 55 k on it. The paint is far from perfect. Making the black a nice deep color and having that thing "pop" will go a long way towards not seeing these other issues.
