Help Identifying Stain on Garage

Hey everyone, looking for a second set of eyes on a garage door issue I ran into today.

The garage door has some strange blotchy discoloration. I’m already aware of oxidation and I checked for it — wiped the surface thoroughly and there was no chalky residue, no transfer, nothing that points to typical oxidation.

What’s throwing me off is the pattern. There are weird drip‑like marks, almost like someone threw water balloons at it or splashed something on it. I did a standard house wash with a regular HW/HE mix and the stains didn’t lighten or change at all.

Has anyone seen this type of staining before or know what might cause it? Trying to figure out whether this is something that can be cleaned or if it’s a surface/paint issue.

I am only allowed to post one photo according to the rules, my apologies.

Any insight is appreciated.

I’ve seen that happen with pest control companies spraying around the garage. Not often but every once in a while, for some reason some pest chems cause problems with the finish. Also have seen wasp spray that customers use cause issues too. Not sure on your though, looks like they need to just repaint the garage door, have to do that from time to time anyways……
