weird spotting, etc on my paint

Thanks for the great threads on detailing- I spent today washing, clay-ing and waximg my car, and the clay really did pull a ton of junk out of the paint.

Now on to some deeper problems. I have some funky spotting on the lowest part of the doors, some ugly "rash" type thing back by the rear tires, and some crap on my wheels that I can't remove.

Can anyone identify what these problems really are? Any recommendations?

Thanks!

On a serious note, the clearcoat looks like it's pitting on your wheels, and possibly mixed curb rash.

The 2nd pic actually does look like a hit, especially since there is also a black mark on the door itself. Maybe a cart or something.

Third pic looks like oxidization/faded clearcoat (possibly from a cheap paint without a good flex agent?), and then damage/dirt getting on it.

Thanks for the info. Trust me, you wouldn't lyoa if it was your car.
