Ok Update: I tried putting on more polish and immediately wiping it off. This reduced the speckle by roughly half, but it had returned just as bad the next day. I then tried rubbing with microfibre + gasoline and both wet and dry clay bar. The speckle persists as bad as ever! FYI the...

Well if the UC uses naptha it must be fairly paint safe. Seems ok when i drip it when I'm fuelling too. That car paint is rock hard, its not an oil painting.

Tap water I guess, ill spray it on so they amalgamate together.

I feel like I didn't let it dry in the first place so I am wary of putting more compound on it! The Megs UC safety data sheet says the solvent is naptha (http://www.meguiars.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/27-7631-8_UK1.pdf) I shall try a little diluted gasoline before going mad with clay I...

huh, ok, Megs ulw order cancelled! Thanks.

Yeah, my paint is so hard I think a polish applied manually would do nothing to it, the shine from UC was top notch. I was going to protect it with wax of course, but have to sort this issue first. I hope clay does the job! I will then be using Megs ultimate liquid wax so it dries clear in the...

Having filled a few stone chips in the bonnet I'm confident it has not been repainted. I have not waxed it. I shall buy a clay bar and give it a go. I shall sell the Collinite I was going to use and buy some Meg's ULW since I'm sure the former will dry white and cause the same issue once I get...

Ok I hear you, I wont soak it with IPA. I did start with detergent, and then progressed to dilute (1:7) IPA, WD40, peanut butter (lol) and then neat IPA, all to no effect. I suspect that perhaps the previous owner filled these micro-stonechips/pores with some kind of dark wax or something...

I agree it looks like the polish has filled in stonechips, but many of the speckles are tiny pinpricks that I wouldn't have expected of stonechips. Its almost like pores in the paint. I very quickly wiped away the spot of WD40 after I was convinced it didn't work as yes it seemed dodgy...I...

Correct, I wasn't aware that was the norm (ultimate compound claims to be an all stages in one polish), and it looked great on the day I did it... If polish will fix it what polish do you suggest? Also I have regular collinite wax I will be applying...do you suggest I get something else as I...

Last weekend i washed and polished my 2008 jet black bmw with meguiars ultimate compound, by hand. I was happy with the result, it had a lovely shine and all scratches were gone. This weekend I washed it again and noticed this: The bonnet is worst effected, but they are all over the car...
