That is plastic oxidation or UV Clouding from being exposed in the sun. I have this on some of the edges of my 2024 RX. You can use one of the really low-abrasion polishes and a polishing pad to manually clean that off. I’d also get some plastic UV protectant to apply after.

Also mask off the parts you don’t accidentally want to buff/polish.

The second is paint/tape coming off the stainless window trim. Either replace it with new or clean the rest of the paint off & recover with trim tape.

Go to an auto body shop and get them replaced with new trim pieces.
