Shiny Specs All Over Car? - Merc S550

[amaycg]

I have a 2008 Capri Blue S550 and I noticed these weird whitish/shiny specs all over the painted surfaces on the driver's side of the car. I attached a picture of this "spotting" on my window gloss black pillars.

These spots don't come out with washing, claying, or even polishing with a light polish such as Menz PO85RD. Is this clear coat failure? In the sunlight, these spotted areas look cloudy despite me doing a 80% correction on the car a few months ago.
TIA

It could be overspray...

Can you feel it? does it appear to be on-top of the paint/surface?

Could be water spots that have etched. Caused usually from letting acid rain sitting on the car for to long. Or even just normal water if its hard enough.

:iagree:

You could try a more aggressive combo for them.

Hmm..maybe it is water spots
The specks are weird because you can only see them at weird angles; I just got really lucky with this spot. They are in splotches all over the driver's side of the car

Could it be oxidation?

Thanks for all the replies thus far
