Paint issue around wiper nozzles

Hey and Howdy all,

I have noticed a 'halo effect' if you will, around my washer nozzles and around the boot 'Mini' emblem. It is a chalky looking ring around these parts. I would suspect excess wax or something like that, but I always pay critical attention to things like that. This is a 05 MCS, Dark Silver.

I tried using a wooden tongue depressor and a microfiber cloth with some polishing compound and it seems to do no good. Any ideas??

Cheers,
Randy in AZ

No idea on a fix, but my BRG 'o6 shows a similar discoloration around the washer nozzle. I suspect it's related to the washer fluid.
