Panel never repainted (original 3 yrs. old) but looks like it might be soon :mad:

last of the sample pics...stll not sure what type of defect this is.. clear coat not removed in any way.

-No correction, no color on MF. -Not water spots -No residue left after buff. - Appears to be under clearcoat or possibly some clearcoat defect.
