I recently had a full ppf done on my jet black 991. Today I washed it for the first time. I thought I was doing everything right, and the sun was not even out - mostly cloudy.
I used soft microfiber mitt, and then I used my blower to get the majority of the water off so that I would be touching the car less. Last I used microfiber towels to get the last of the water. I used the towels to pat down any remaining water I found rather than drag the towel across or run the towel back and forth.
When I was done the car looked really nice. But then as I was putting things away the light caught a panel a certain way and I saw what looked to be a lot of water spots. I was spent after spending two hours on the wash and decided to have another look at night in the garage and maybe try to get them off.
So tonight im looking over the car, and when the lights hit the roof a certain way I see tons of what look like more water marks. Then I take out my led flashlight and have a look, and that`s when I see , pretty much the entire car is covered with this. image attached.
Im going to pull it out of the garage tomorrow and have another look at it in the sun/daylight. I`m not sure how noticeable it will be then. Under cloud cover I was pleased with how the car looked, and did not even see it for the most part, except the one panel when the light hit it a certain way.
Maybe my mistake was getting out the flashlight?
In the garage i touched up a small area with soap and water to see if it would come off, and most of it did, but a few very small spots still remained, visible with the flashlight.
Has anyone seen such a thing on ppf film before? Did I go wrong somewhere?
Am I going to have to try to get all this stuff off soon else it becomes permanent? The thought of that after spending 2.5 hours detailing today is not appealing. Especially if I get it off only for it to come back yet again.
Thanks

But FWIW, I`d be thrilled if I could wash a car properly in 2.5hours! Can`t imagine it... But anyhow, guys like Stokdgs and Swanicyouth know more about living with PPF than I ever will, and I`m wondering about:
But I sure wouldn`t use Gold Class (except for maybe the undercarriage).
Results with Carpro Reset and water from the hose.. No pressure wash, just rinse it off, wash it down with the Reset mixed in a 5gal bucket, keep it wet, until I begin to blow it all off with the Metro Master Blaster... 
You`re even kind enough to merely call them "nitwits".
