Default My car bra caused ghosting! Help!

I had the top part of my car bra on for 3 weeks and in the garage while I was on vacation. I get home and take it to the car wash, as it was a bit dusty and muddy around the side skirts. I get to the wash and remove the bra to find that the paint from the front edge of my hood to about 6 inches up has white swirls in it. Needless to say, I am devestated. Previously, my car had no paint imperfections. What is the culptrit? I use red turtle wax and sometimes eagle wax-as-u-dry if it just needs a little touching up. And I rarely use the bra.

Please Help!

try high speed buffing, or a clay bar, and do not use a bra...they cause more problems than they solve

The bra scratched the paint, and the moisture under it has found its way inside the swirl marks.
Although a good polish might be able to remove it, theres also the possibility that salts found its way between the base and clear coat, so the polish MIGHT not be able to remove it all.
I hope i'm wrong, but that could happen.

Alsosstay away from plastic car covers, the same could happen to all the paint if you dont use a breathable cover.
