Not sure what your current conditions are, but the thicker appearance you see in my photos are after the car returned and sat in our 78F air conditioned garage for two days. It could not have flowed into this position in its current viscosity. If you are in a warm area, the more liquid state of cosmoline may be explainable and still be the most reasonable explanation or it may be overspray from a service visit. I note both locations are near latches.
