Edit: that was for rob's reply
Nimesh talked Mike into removing his windsheild tape last year.

He ended up working on getting the goo off for the better part of 6 hours!

more than likely the car's been sitting for a long time, washed with a harsh detergent, then more sitting collecting dust,(airborne pollutants) and other elements that would have started to oxidize the RIO already.. could even be signs of "overspray" so check for them..

I don't know of any dealerships that does claying ? and remove any debris or left over product that has been sitting on your paint ?

My recommendations:

a proper wash,
proper clay,
light and very light swirl mark removal stuff with pc,
then re-clay
re-rinse
apply a polymer sealant

then for subsequent washes, a higher end wash, clean wash mitts, and always use freshly clean MF towels

and with this regiment you may never see swirl marks appear.. and i'm not kidding.. i've helped owners who are into their 4th year and only now have developed "minor swirls"
