Something about a filter maybe?

Claying is always good, but may just be real fine marring. Some Ult. Polish may help with that.

I can't really tell by the picture but you sure they are not metallic flakes in the paint?

Re: Hi Paint question ( with picture )

p.s. The polarizers in sunglasses can play some tricks on your eyeballs. Check out some factory tints in windows with shades on.

Re: Hi Paint question ( with picture )

What is the car in question and how long have you had it?
Nonetheless, if you are seeing lines, I would guess those are scratches.

You said that you have polished the car, did you use a DA or by hand? and what products?
You have mentioned using M205 which is a light polish and unless you have really soft paint, it will be very difficult at best to remove defects with this combo.
Personally, I have tried removing defects with UC/SwirlX/UP by hand on my Acura and ended up getting myself a DA.

Re: Hi Paint question ( with picture )

By looking at the tools you are using I would guess you have more experience detailing than I do.

Your combo should have taken out most defects...

Re: Hi Paint question ( with picture )

To the eye it looks perfect,its just on camera and when using sunglasses, maybe im being to picky, thanks very much for the replys I just thought somebody must have came across the same issue.
