Looks like love bug damage.

Can you feel the damage with your nail?

Nope.
But i think the etching get worse because I park about 25 yards from the bay side, The car get washed every 2 week.
Reading/watching the JUNKMAN videos , maybe I need to buy a polisher.

You sure ain't gonna put a dent in removing that damage without one, and then that may not be enough. The longer you allow it to sit on your paint, the more that wet sanding enters the equation because that damage is going to go deep.

I had the same damage and use a orbital polisher and a product called Wolfgang
total swirl removed and it took care of my damaged paint
