on his way home driving thru some highway under construction and pilling

splashes of `Wet` boring* spillage (drilling fluids) splattered the under wheel wells and lower side of the car

drilling fluid systems usually consist components of a kerosene-like
petroleum base density compound.

after a good good bath - we further prepare the paint surface decontamination - follow by inspection as paint need to be carefully studied and measured prior correction
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-H...0/DSCF8643.JPG
this enable a quick assessment of the quality of the paint finish and to verify the clear coat is not endangered or too much of clear coat being removed during paint leveling / over excessively
we discover some deep water spots etching on the paint

The most important thing a person can do is to find out what caused the problem and then try to avoid it into the future because you cannot continue to compound a thin, hard factory finish as you`ll go through the clear and expose the basecoat.
