    3. These "defects" may have been present since new. I didn`t notice until I installed eighteen 75W spot lights (track lighting) in the garage. Ironically, I had all those lights installed to help me detail the car. It might have worked too well!


    Only the most discerning eyes would notice these. It was hard to capture in those photos. Most people here wouldn`t even notice unless they were looking and it was with direct light shining down on the paint.


    Thanks for the response!
    Well based on the pics that you`ve posted of the whole car that is...its a really nice ride!


    Sounds like something that you will have to live with....if it really, really, really starts to bother you....give the car to me...I`ll get over it

    I`m stickin to my guns.OVERSPRAY.....Like I was saying earlier overspray is always uniformally on paint. You say you have had car detailed?Did they use rotary? They couldv`e polished tha overspray flat with surface (Paint)were it looks & feels like it is IN THA paint.Here`s what I would do call Steve@Poorboy`s or Troy @ Detailcity and order some yellow clay,and red clay along with some lube and possibly some polish.Tha yellow is what I use every day. I also when facing a real challenge will break out tha red.(it is alot more aggressive) you really have nothing to lose by tryin this and everythig to gain.You should already be using clay anyway and who couldn`t use a little more polish...Good Luck and stick around. I have alota time invested in you.
