Good Guess! There has never been any accident damage reported or identified in the PPI, but in some recesses I could find what looked like wet sanding residue and some clear coat flaking edge along top edge of passenger door. So I finally took to a paint shop to see what they thought. Turns out too much love can be a bad thing. The original home of this car was Malibu. Apparently the original owner decided to have additional clear sprayed over the car to protect the black paint. The paint shop suspects it had more than 4 coats of clear. According to them this is too thick and is now shrinking and cracking on the horizontal surface of the hood from 100 deg days and sun. Still gets noticed occasionally.
