You guys have seen this before and if so is it common on these mk7s?
(Please ignore water droplets lol I hope you will still see what I'm on about)

The bumpy effect is on both sides only at the very bottom, but the yellow/creamy residue is only on passenger side as far as I could tell.

I have had the car about a month and even though I have washed it a few times this was the first time I noticed it... (The other times it the sun had started to set by the time I got to bottom of car so... not ideal light so I may just have missed it)

Bumpy texture at the bottom is a chip guard. It's relatively squishy compared to the rest of the paint. Designed to absorb impacts from rocks and such.

Residue - Wax spray they use to protect against corrosion. Goes on the bottom of the car. Absorbs impacts and keeps the pinch welds coated to prevent rust.
