lol it happened again today...it seems that the circles appear after my car drys (from the rain) while i drive it. havent gotten the chance to wash my car since i brought her home (not bcuz im lazy, just for some stupid reasons) so the circles might b caused by some residue.

so seriously no 1 else has this problem??? im kinda scared

My guess would be that they are trace circles left from something that was contacting your car probably during manufacture or shipping. I decal vehicles and sometimes even after a year of some decals being removed from a paint job you can still see traces or ghosting when the car is wet or gets dirty. If you can convince your dealer that it is a warranty issue then get them to try cut polishing the car or something similar. Good luck!

It's probably the suction cups from the robots which put that tailgate on, and when it gets cold it 'frosts' up and become more visible. I'd imagine some glue remover and a cut polish will take that out in 10 minutes. I wouldn't call that warranty but I would do it no charge.
