Default Glue that looks like scratches

Everytime I wash my car I almost have a heat attack, when I see these new scratches, but then after I rub them a bit they disapear, I think it is left over glue from the transportation packaging.

anyone else notice this?

after you wash the car use some WD40 or googone and remove it.

then wash the car or wipe off the residue with rubbing alcohol and wax.

To get the wax off you will need to use Brillo pads and then drain cleaner.

yes its most likely from the plastic film used during shipping. I had the same thing, most of it went away after the second wash/wax.
