What is that, a bird poop etch? You can try 105, but be careful it's not etched to the primer (kind of hard to tell because of the focus).

I guess so...problem is that I have 3 spots like that..
Long story short...this is my daily ride to work that I leased for 5 years.
This is the 4th and I am figuring that I will purchase it at the end..
So I wasn't too careful , and most likely let it baked in at one time or another
So this is how I got evolved with learning to detail :applause:
Anyway...I'm going to spot buff with a 4" pad and M105 to see if I can remove them
How long should I try to buff it out before its damaged..
Mike
P.S.- I can always turn it in next year

Can you take another picture with better focus? A trick is to put your finger on the paint next to the defect so you can focus on that instead of the reflection. Honestly right now it looks pretty bad and I'd be afraid that polishing would make it worse. Try and take another pic.

Well, that doesn't look too good. IMO polishing isn't going to help that.

Agreed on the clear coat failure. Sorry Mike!
