    Acid rain?

    Im not to sure whats in my paint. When its in the shade u see tons of spots but in the sun they disappear. I tried to d/a it last weekend with no success at all and this weekend i got out the rotary for the first time but it didn't do a thing for the spots, it got all the swirls and some nasty scratches out:] What will i have to do?

    My steps
    wash 2 bucket method
    clay
    m105 with orange LC pad
    m205 with white LC pad
    coat of nxt 2.0
    coat of gold class carnauba paste wax

    Looks like acid rain to me too

    The only thing you might try is to wetsand, but they may be etched all the way through the clear. Only other thought is to respray

    Maybe that cquartz stuff will work?

    Re: Acid rain?

    Any chance of clearer photos? Looks like the camera was focused on the reflection, which happens to me a lot.

    If not:

    -Are the spots more of a solid color, full of cracks?
    -Are they more of etchings?

    Maybe this thread and its links may be of more help:

    Photo 2 is pretty revealing if its a pic after the car has been washed and dried IMO


    OP....For kicks you might also try soaking the paint with vinager for several minutes then wiping with a fresh micro-fiber
