It’s factory chip guard. Completely normal and fine. It’s made to reduce rock chips.

Be more careful when applying wax. And don’t get it on the black plastic like on the last pic.

Thank you so much that makes total sense. Previous owner prob wax it so it was harder for me to tell. Good to know its just extra protection

No accidents? Well maybe not but it looks like compound or overspray on the mudguards and it looks like the bed used to have mudguard stickers (clear stickers look at pic 2) and they look painted over. The rockguard looks like lesser quality than a factory finish would provide as well. Idk what I’m getting at here but it just kinda looks like it’s been repainted to me

I remember this protective coating on my cousins Nissan 300ZX. Helped prevent so much damage to the rocker panels.
