Looks like contamination between the clear coat and PPF. Whoever did your PPF did a poor job of paint prep and working in a dust-free environment.

I have zero such issues anywhere on the car. I did notice minor clear coat imperfections that looked like poor polishing or wax application by the dealer. But these were all taken care of by the detailer who did the full body PPF.

Your first and usually only opportunity to point out paint imperfections are under the bright lights when you take delivery. After that you’re usually on your own.

If you did not pay attention then, you can only guess when the imperfections were introduced. Given what you’ve shared, it’s 99% poor paint prep by the PPF installer. Given prep is half the job or more, you didn’t get your money’s worth imho.

Also if you got PPF done in a day or two, quality of work seems sus. My detailer took nearly two weeks, including doing the hood twice because they weren’t satisfied with the outcome the first time.
