Just after some advice and some info off you paintwork expert's on here. Since I bought my vRS last year I've been a bit down when it come's to the condition of the paintwork due to marks in it. I've bought myself a DA and a selection of pad's and polishes to help improve it but I'm struggling due to the state of it and after some advice of what's best and what could of caused it.

I have these, what can only be described as dimple's all over my paint work. It is worst on the front passenger wing, but can be seen all over the car itself.

Just wondering what could of caused these mark's to appear in the paintwork, could it be a factory defect in paint procedure?Has anybody ever seen anything like this before?

Also what would be the best point of attack to remove all the marks and get the paintwork into mint condition again?I can't feel the mark's when I run my nail over them.

I doubt that's factory paint, if there's a detailing workshop near you nip down there and borrow a paint depth reader.

There is a chap fairly close to me, may have to have a chat see if I can borrow it. The thing is thought, that the WHOLE car is covered in these, albeit not as bad as this front wing is. I can't see the whole car being sprayed at some point to of caused this, so just wondered if there is anything else which may of caused it.

Might be fish eyes where the paint has been layed over silicon...not an expert but I do also think its not OEM paint. Have you used the DA yet? Had you feel the bumps?

I've used the DA several time's on the car now and it's slowly cut it back slightly but not to the extent that I'm truly happy with. I did wet sand the bonnet last year as that was bad, and now it looks a lot better but not 100% so I think I may need to do the entire car to sort it all out.

You can't really feel the bump's but you can see them once flatted etc.
