What's on/in my paint?

[Chantastic]

Hi everyone,

I'm in search of some help. I was cleaning the car the other day and noticed these strange marks in the paint. At first I thought they were water stains of some kind. Whatever they are, they won't come off with a cloth or water. There's thankfully only a few of them and they seem be most present at the top of the door, where something could 'sit' there for a while, rather than slide down the rest of the door. They cannot be felt when running my finger over them. See pics.

I also recently waxed the car with Mother's Synthetic Paste Wax, if that makes a difference. Maybe whatever it is has been sealed in? I'm not sure if the marks were there prior to waxing. I haven't tried a clay bar yet, just thought someone here might know what it is first. I've only had the car a short while, and it came from Vancouver in case that has any effect.

Thanks to any and all for your help.

Looks like dried soap?

Clay bar should take it off.

Thanks I'll give that a shot.
