Re: Are these water spots?
A trick for focusing on spots on your paint is to put your fingertip next to the spot you are trying to photograph, then the camera is more likely to focus on the paint rather than the reflections.
PS Your paint looks very nice except for those scratches. Why don't you go down to Wal-Mart and get yourself some Meguiar's Ultimate Polish and some microfiber applicators and some of the better MF towels they have there, and some Ultimate Wax or even the Ultimate Quik Wax or something, and rub out those spots with the polish and put some real wax on the car. It'll look great.

Good tip I'll do that next time.
I already have all those things. I'm just very hesitant to use them and do anything wrong to the paint.
However many people on here have given me great advice so its pretty much when I decide like trying to apply what I've learned.

Re: Are these water spots?
That looks like a beautiful color, I see the different colors of flake but I can't tell if the paint is black or blue. If you clay it use something like the Meg's Smooth Surface with plenty of lube and very little pressure. Then the UP, it's mild, you'll do fine.

Its called BlackBerry pearl but it is indeed blue and sparkles in the sun. When I worked at the dealership and has endless products at my disposal I would really scrub wash it good in a cool completely closed detail garage and id have time to really go over it with a body shine and drench the tires in dressing lol

When I did the baggie test the bumps did not necessarily correspond with the spots. It just felt like a lot of crap that needs clayed.

Clay the car and then re-inspect the paint. Actual water spots, no matter what type should be visible.
