I have small white paint chippings overt the car and I don’t know what could have caused them. they are most prominent in the front. I have noticed them now after taking the car for a wash (manual wash with pressure washer) (Octavia mk2 2006) What could have caused them?

It looks to me like 'road rash' - caused by grit and stones being flicked up by other vehicles.  Smaller ones can be covered, to some degree, by using polishes that have fillers in them.  The polish then being removed by washing, so exposing them.

Thanks for the answer!

What can I do with them? just take the car to get it repaired? Is ot just a cheap fix?

They don't look serious.  You'll get more unless you put the car in a garage and don't use it.  I'd just accept them and leave it.

 

If they bother you too much, take it to a car detailer, or paint shop, and ask their advice.  In the UK we have companies that specifically deal with stone chips, such as 'ChipsAway'.
