stupid rain messed up my paint

wtf did it rain acid or something?
after it stopped raining i noticed these white spots all over my car!
seems like the clear got burnt
i got the car buffed about a month ago and washed it a good three times after that it was fine, i washed it on sunday and no problem.
now i got this crap all over my car after the paint being so clean and i think its og paint!'
maybe the guy burned the clear with the buffer?
this is bull crap i dont want it no more!!
any suggestions on how to get rid of this?
