I have a 2006 Red Ford Escape. The paint shines but when I run my hand across the finish, it almost feels like sandpaper, not abrasive, but feels like the entire surface has very small bumps on it. Like I say, if you look at the paint from a distance (or from even fairly close)it has a very nice shine but I can`t stand the way it feels. I`m really surprised that it shines so nicely given the way it feels. I don`t really see any oxidation.
I worked in an industrial area for several years. Could this be some kind of fallout or acid rain?
I thought I would try claying it first (it`s never been), but like I said it is the entire paint job that feels sandpaper-like. Would some kind of polish be better.
Thanks,
