I need some help identifying and treating this defect. An incompetent dealership repainted the front end of this vehicle leaving textured speckles on the hood and bumper.
In my test spot I’ve clayed, compounded, and polished but some speckles persist despite the test spot feeling silky smooth. I assumed overspray (if it was that) would have come up with clay. It resembles pitting from road debris that I’ve seen on higher mileage hoods - except this was recently repainted. The speckles are only in certain areas vs. uniformly distributed.
Looking for opinions. Thanks.
It’s the worst around the emblem (not clayed or polished example):
