It looks like mite or thrip stippling left when they feed on foliage.

Can you remove the white or is it etched into the leaf? What does the back of the leaves look like?

Have you not seen any bugs? Try a white paper under a leaf and shake the leave vigorously and see if anything falls to the paper. Mites can be very small and hard to see.

You could take a leaf or 2 in a plastic bag to a big nursery near you. They usually will help you ID problems and suggest solutions. They also usually aware of insects in your local.
