What causes this type of damage in clear coat?
There are spots all over the sky facing parts of my car. Hood, roof, trunk.
There are actual divets in these spots (when I pass a fingernail over them, I feel a hole).
I am wondering what can cause holes like this? I am worried that I will need to do an entire repaint so rust doesn't eat the car away. Hopefully I can get this done under insurance or dealer warranty.
The car is a 2006 G sedan with OB paint. I bought it used, but as far as I know, it is the original paint.
Thanks in advance for any help.

They are all over the car though. Literally hundreds of them, on just about every upward facing panel. There might be some on the sides too, I need to check once it gets light out. I would like to polish it out, but I think the clear coat might be super thin as two of the holes on the roof have actually gone down to the steel and are rusting.
