Have you tried to clay any of the areas you mentioned?
Do the spots seem like they are on top of the clearcoat or eating thru it?
You could try a more agressive polish on the mirrors and side strakes with a light cutting pad 1st. IF that doesn't work try a heavier compound and a heavy cutting pad. Both with the PC of course. If you do use a heavier compound make sure to follow up with lighter pads and polishes or you will keep getting a "hazey" look in that area.
So for example, if you use Poorboy's SSR3 to clear up the "fading" and a yellow Lake country pad, go over the area again with SSR2 with the yellow pad, then again with SSR1 and a white pad. Then you can apply sealant and wax, or what ever you may use.

Well I did body work for a living.. So first Pics dont really help a real lot. U really need to see it in person.. First if you know how. Get some good sandpaper (wet) 3m 1500 would be best and try sanding it light and taking a wheel with compound with a white pad then polish with a black pad and see what happens..

I talked to Honda yesterday I'm bringing the car in tomorrow apparently paint is covered in the bumper to bumper warranty. So tomorrow morning im going over there to have them check it out. If they say it is covered I'm going to have the replace the mirrors side strakes spoiler. Everything thats fading.

Hah stealership strikes again. The first bumper to bumper warranty covers paint but not the certified warranty. I have to call back in a week to talk to the regional manager or something. Supposedly they should be able to take care of the problem. I told them that if they didn't help me out I would never by another car from them again. Considering a paid for this one right out they don't want to lose me. At least they seem that way. But we'll see in a week. I doubt they will do anything. Dealerships suck.
