| Help, I have woodchip paint!
I started to clean the Saab properly yesterday, I power washed it first, used the bucket and wash mit, clayed, used SSR2.5 manually then finished of with Zymol wax (it's all I could find in my shed)
Now when I look at the paint it's like it's wood chip. Theres lots of little dots all over the car. Also the finish isn't very good, it's very white now, but it's cloudy in areas. Is this because I never used a machine?

Pics?
My Nova has blisters all over the roof, under the paint. Some kind of strange reaction that has taken 4 years or so to come through since the respray.
Though yours sounds as though its a result of your polishing??

Not sure if you'll be able to make it out but hey ho.
It's definitely an imperfection in the paint. It's hard to see until you look right up close. I know it's there though   | |
