How far to take down clear?

Well, I wasn't able to get ahold of people today before closing time, but I did manage this crop of a photo of the front fender. I've made it b/w to allow you to more easily focus on the surface characteristics... Not that you can tell much from a photo... This is the fender, which I've already polished out a bit.



The area in the photo is probably about 2.5"x2.5"

animes2k, the problem which I'm facing is exactly same as yours. My car sat in the dealer stockyard for 4 months before releasing to me. That's excluding the shipment from South Korea (Seoul) which could take up a few months. I can imagine how the paintwork is attacked w/o being washed and protected. The pittings appear on the vertical surfaces only.



Two months ago I came across a black WRX which faces similar problem like yours. I suspect it's due to acid rain too. The area which I'm living receives an average pH value of less than 4.4 each year. Normal rain is slightly acidic should carry a pH value of 5.6.



The only thing I could do is to live with it. But I did polish the panels occasionally with #83/rotary combo, and it helps to reduce abit. I learned a lesson to wash and wax the car more frequently.
