Acid rain?

[ghost5486]

Im not to sure whats in my paint. When its in the shade u see tons of spots but in the sun they disappear. I tried to d/a it last weekend with no success at all and this weekend i got out the rotary for the first time but it didn't do a thing for the spots, it got all the swirls and some nasty scratches out:] What will i have to do?

My steps
wash 2 bucket method
clay
m105 with orange LC pad
m205 with white LC pad
coat of nxt 2.0
coat of gold class carnauba paste wax

Looks like acid rain to me too

The only thing you might try is to wetsand, but they may be etched all the way through the clear. Only other thought is to respray

Maybe that cquartz stuff will work?

Any chance of clearer photos? Looks like the camera was focused on the reflection, which happens to me a lot.

If not:

-Are the spots more of a solid color, full of cracks?
-Are they more of etchings?

Maybe this thread and its links may be of more help:

Photo 2 is pretty revealing if its a pic after the car has been washed and dried IMO


OP....For kicks you might also try soaking the paint with vinager for several minutes then wiping with a fresh micro-fiber

the other pics look exactly like the second pic im out of ideas of getting more pics:[

so whats my only suggestion? i am by far not a pro and this was the first time i used my rotary, i usually stick to d/a of the fear of burning paint or holograms but not of that happened and im not to sure if i was moving to fast or not. the paint got pretty hot but again not sure if it got to hot or not hot enough.

should i take it down to the local paint shop to see if they can tell me if its in the paint or can safely be removed via wet sanding and the amount of clear on the car?

well i went to the paint shop, they said it was acid rain and it will never come all the way out without a repaint. They said to wet sand with 2000 grit followed by m105 then m 205. Probably going to try it this weekend.:buffing:
