What do I need to do?

[LAKings22]

I started working on a 08 Lexus GX430 yesterday and I can't get past the hood. Looking at the pictures, is this somthing that can be fixed with compound/polish?

This is after using HD Adapt with Blue hybrid cutting pad with a Flex 3401 ... then a orange hybrid cutting pad with FG400. These dots are all over.

This is a shot with a 400 lumen LED light directly on the spot.

What causes fractured clear coat?

Not taking care of the paint

If you have a paint thinkness gauge you can do a quick measurement on the spot versus an intact part of the hood and see what the difference is.

That's next on my list. Other then the hood everything came out good

The truck looks good rops: Don't feel too bad about the hood, cracked or failing clear coat is something that a detailer can't really do anything about.
