Hood clearcoat

On my silver 2013 FRS there is an odd dull/rough texture to the left half of the hood. It feels like no clearcoat but doesn't look that way, it really noticeable when waxing, something is wrong. I understand these cars have very soft clear so I eed to tred lightly correcting this. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Got any pictures? It's not a scratch is it? Like something was placed on the hood and slid down along the length of it?
