Post pics of what it looks like or email them to me and I can post them.

but it sounds like etching from water spots. The sun has cut little scars into your clear coat where the water beads stayed too long. Its not the end of the world.
They can be professionaly removed with a buffer. Or you can get an orbital polisher(make sure its orbital!) yourself and use a compound to round the edges of the etching so it won't reflect light any more. They only time you need to repaint is when you have a deep scratch or dent that has gone past the clear coat and penetrated the base or primer layers.

The best way to avoid that happening again is to use a sealant after you compound and acrylic top coats to keep the water beads off of the clear coat.
