Tiny ripples in reflection.
I notice in the reflection when looking at my paint that there are lots of little ripples that seem random, preventing a perfect mirror shine. It's not bad like orange peel though. The paint is factory and I was curious as to whether this can be removed or if its just a characteristic of the paint.

Re: Tiny ripples in reflection.
Factory paint can still have orange peel. It just seems minor orange peel, can you put up a picture?

It could also be that the painted-panel's substrate isn't: "quite straight".

Re: Tiny ripples in reflection.
Not sure how tight of a pattern you are talking about, but it could be sanding marks in the paint. It is very common.

Re: Tiny ripples in reflection.
I work at a dealership and I see it in most of the paint. It's like seeing a blurry reflection instead of a crisp one.
